On Thanksgiving weekend, my friends and I spent the day in downtown Austin watching the 16th annual Chuy's holiday parade which is used to raise toys for children. A noble idea and not too shabby of an event. This was followed by the 11 annual Victorian Christmas on Sixth Street Festival. A moderate size event that had some good elements and potential to be on par with the bigger street fests. While we did find some enjoyable parts, the event still falls a little short on the christmas atmosphere and more so on the victorian.
