Ready for a jolly good time? We're blending holiday cheer with summer vibes in Downtown Bastrop’s Christmas in July: Lemonade Crawl! Grab your souvenir cup at check-in and sip your way through dozens of participating businesses sampling unique lemonade creations; some sweet, some spiked, and all delicious!
How It Works
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.
Registration & Casting Your Vote
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged and guarantees your official souvenir cup for the event. Due to limited quantities, only a small number of additional cups will be available for purchase on the day of the crawl while supplies last.
Every lemonade stop brings something different, and at the end of the crawl, you’ll have the chance to help crown the crowd favorite. As you sample your way through downtown, keep track of the flavors, creativity, presentation, and overall experience at each participating location. Once you’ve made your rounds, cast your vote for your favorite lemonade creation and help determine which downtown business earns ultimate bragging rights.
The Lemonade Crawl is open to all ages; however, some participating businesses may offer alcoholic samples exclusively for guests 21 years of age or older with valid identification. Comfortable walking shoes, festive attire, and a love for lemonade are highly encouraged.
