Cowboy Christmas

A day of family fun exploring the museum with holiday crafts and visits with Cowboy Santa!

Unwrap Western fun and meet Cowboy Santa at the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s annual Cowboy Christmas! This year’s Cowboy Christmas falls on the museum’s monthly “Locals Day” when the Briscoe greets locals with free general admission. Cowboy Christmas is also FREE, making the Briscoe the perfect way to enjoy holiday fun and make memories with your family.

Families are welcome to snap pictures with Cowboy Santa, while a Scout the Briscoe scavenger hunt will lead you through the Briscoe’s fantastic collection, and of course, a stroll through the museum’s McNutt Sculpture Garden is the perfect path to enjoy the River Walk and all of its holiday beauty.
