Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time to get into the Christmas spirit and the Trail Conservancy is helping bring some holiday cheer with a special guest.

Today, the Trail Conservancy (TTC) is bringing Santa Clause to the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail for the third year.

This year, families can catch Santa in two locations along the Trail.

Santa will be welcoming kids first in the lawn area of Auditorium Shores from 10 a.m.-12 p.m.

Later in the day Santa will be at the new overlook in the recently opened area of the Trail at Holly Shores near the old power plant from 2 p.m.-4p.m.

TTC is welcoming holiday fans of all ages to complimentary photos with Santa and to enjoy holiday music by Austin’s Cool Yule Orchestra.

Furry family members are also welcome.
