Christmas in July:

Lemonade Crawl

Santa has traded in his boots for flip flops and is enjoying vacation her in Bastrop, Texas! Christmas in July: Lemonade Crawl blends tropical summer vibes with festive holiday fun as Downtown Bastrop businesses serve up creative lemonade samples, exclusive sales, and plenty of merry moments along the way.

Your Christmas in July adventure begins at event check-in at 2 PM, where registered participants will receive their official souvenir cup and event map. Once the crawl officially begins at 3 PM, guests will explore participating businesses throughout Downtown Bastrop, each offering their own signature lemonade creation.

From fruity and refreshing to bold and unexpected, every stop brings a new flavor experience. Some locations may feature tropical-inspired blends, holiday-themed twists, or handcrafted specialty recipes created just for the event. Select businesses will also offer alcoholic lemonade samples for guests 21 and older with valid ID.

As you stroll downtown, take your time discovering local shops, meeting business owners, snapping photos with festive décor, and soaking in the lively summer atmosphere. The crawl is designed to be self-paced, making it easy to enjoy the afternoon with friends, family, or fellow lemonade lovers.

Shop the Summer Sales

Christmas in July isn’t just about the lemonade, it’s also one of the best times to shop Downtown Bastrop. Participating retailers will be celebrating with special promotions, seasonal markdowns, sidewalk sales, and limited-time offers throughout the event.

As businesses prepare for the upcoming fall and holiday seasons, shoppers can score great deals on spring and summer merchandise, including apparel, home décor, gifts, accessories, and more. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover unique local finds while supporting the small businesses that help make Bastrop such a vibrant destination.

Whether you’re searching for a summer staple, an early holiday gift, or simply browsing between lemonade stops, there’s something waiting around every corner.
