For the past few weeks, we’ve visited what are normally downtown San Antonio’s most popular spots for viewing and taking pictures of Christmas lights. In most places, the crowds haven’t been as large as they usually are, for obvious reasons. But we wanted to share with you the photos we captured anyway.

We’ll be updating this slideshow throughout the holidays.

Photos by Heron contributors Chris Stokes (Travis Park, Alamo Plaza and Pearl) and Stephanie Marquez (Main Plaza, Frost Bank, and Rivercenter), and Heron editor Ben Olivo (Casa Rio scenes and H-E-B Christmas tree arrival).
