47th Annual Christmas in October Jingle Walk

Kick off the holiday season with one of Salado's most beloved traditions! The 47th Annual Christmas in October Jingle Walk invites you to spend three festive days shopping, dining, and enjoying the charm of Salado's historic Main Street. Stroll through participating boutiques and businesses, collect exclusive gifts along the way, and experience everything that makes this annual event a favorite for shoppers from across Central Texas.

New this year, the Salado Ladies Community League is offering three passport levels, allowing you to customize your Jingle Walk experience.

Make your Jingle Walk experience even more delightful with a leisurely lunch at the historic Stagecoach Restaurant.

Your entrée is accompanied by creamy Hatch green chile mac & cheese, a lightly toasted salted French baguette, and a decadent cheesecake bite for dessert. To make the evening even more festive, each dinner includes one complimentary glass of Prosecco, wine, or beer. It's the perfect way to toast the season's fun of day shopping the Jingle Walk trail. Your dinner passport may be used on Friday or Saturday only.
