The holidays are upon us, and that means extended family and friends coming to town to celebrate together. Here are some ways to make holiday memories with your family in League City, Texas.
Go on a photo tour
League City is getting in the holiday spirit with some larger-than-life decorations. Travel down to League Park in the Historic District and snap photos at the festively decorated gazebo or take a seat in the bright red ornament in front of our 55-foot-tall holiday tree. Stop by Helen’s Garden and shine brightly beside a giant Christmas star or strike a pose under snowflakes lining the garden walls. Capture that perfect selfie next to huge 'MERRY' and 'JOY' sign at City Hall and Helen Hall Library, coupled with two giant, brightly lit Christmas stars.
