Tickets are available online at King-Ranch.com, at the King Ranch Saddle Shop, the King Ranch Museum, the King Ranch Visitor Center, the Kingsville Visitors Center and at the door. Tickets are $10 each. Ranch Hand Breakfast is always held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The Ranch Hand Breakfast serves as a fundraiser for the annual La Posada de Kingsville lighted Christmas parade. Daniel Morales, chairman of the La Posada de Kingsville Committee, said that the annual event would be held on December 7th, this year’s theme is “Home for the Holidays.” “The La Posada parade is an exciting experience that really resonates with the Christmas spirit in Kingsville,” Morales said. “We’re excited to be able to hold it again this year, we love the community involvement, and we know not only our community, but neighboring communities will come together to make wonderful memories.” The parade typically boasts more than 150 entries and has drawn up to 15,000 onlookers to downtown Kingsville. Ranch Hand Weekend and La Posada proceeds are donated to the city for improvements in Kingsville’s Main Street District, an area that houses several small businesses. In partnership with both the Ranch Hand Breakfast and La Posada de Kingsville, the Kingsville Visitors Center developed a series of events to surround the popular King Ranch festivities. This year’s events will include a Ranch Hand Weekend Wine Walk Holiday Sip & Shop Tree Lighting, a downtown festival and the Ranch Hand Weekend Country Concert. The festivities begin Friday, November 22 at 5 p.m. with an opportunity for guests to visit Main Street Kingsville merchants and vendors while they sample dozens of wine varieties, craft and domestic beer options and holiday mocktails. Ranch Hand Weekend Holiday Wine Walk passports come packed with coupons and savings, they include a keepsake wine glass and wine lanyard or a glow-in-thedark stadium cup and there are a variety of ways for all participants to enter to win some awesome prizes. The Ranch Hand Weekend Holiday Wine Walk will end at 9 p.m. and incorporate the tree lighting that starts at 7 p.m. outside the 1904 Train Depot Museum. The Texas A&M University-Kingsville senior art exhibit will also be on display in the Kleberg Bank lobby. Christmas Carolers get everyone in the holiday spirit, and they’ll be followed by live music and a street dance with electric violinist Dalla, back by popular demand. Passports are not needed to attend, but they enhance the experience and are the only way wine, beer and mocktails can be sampled. Passports can be purchased in advance at RanchHandWeekend.com. Proceeds for this event benefit Weavers of Love, Inc. The non-profit supports people in need of a healthy nutritional meal. In addition to the Ranch Hand Weekend Holiday Wine Walk, there will be another Holiday Wine Walk on December 7 ahead of the annual La Posada de Kingsville illuminated night parade. Guests can return to the December event with their wine glasses and stadium cups and enjoy a $5 discount. After filling up on your authentic Cowboy Breakfast at the King Ranch®, visitors are invited back to Main Street for food, fun, inflatables, live music, two-stepping and line dancing. The Ranch Hand Weekend Festival also features a Ranch Hand Car Show with everything from modern to imports to lifted categories and more featured by Texas Rides. The Texas A&M University-Kingsville Art Department will also showcase Steam-Roller printing, an exhibit that has become very popular during the event. For the kiddos, the Kingsville Parks & Rec Department has partnered with many groups to bring in an Archery Turkey Shoot, a Young Performer’s Stage, a Drug Free Jail and Pony Rides. Vendors come from far and wide to attend this festival and there is no shortage of Christmas shopping opportunities. Country music fans will not want to miss Saturday night’s Ranch Hand Weekend Country Concert at the JK Northway Expo Center.
