Austin’s Miracle On South Congress

Every first Thursday, Austinites flood to South Congress for an unforgettable evening of late shopping hours, live music and delicious food. This week is the first thursday of December and its definitely an event you don’t want to miss. In addition to traditional late hours and local vendors with snacks, So-Co goers will experience a holiday street lighting–complete with Carolers at dusk and the opportunity to meet Santa from 5-8 p.m. at Doc’s. If you participate in the Blue Santa Toy Drive by bringing an unwrapped gift, you will be rewarded with 2 raffle tickets and of course that warm bubbly feeling of helping a child in need.
