It\u2019s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Or it will this Saturday in downtown San Antonio, anyway. <\/p>\n

Handsomely decorated trees, illuminated waterways and 100,000 pounds of real snow will do their part as the River of Lights celebration transforms the urban landscape this Saturday. We\u2019re guessing sled rides for children of all ages and a live manger full of furry friends also will help seal the deal. <\/p>\n

The River of Lights \u2014 the San Antonio River Authority\u2019s one-night holiday blowout \u2014 is the perfect place for the entire family to enjoy a little slice of what the North Pole has to offer. <\/p>\n

Add this to offerings by the San Antonio Jazz Collective, Ballet Folklorico and a sampling of Magik Theatre\u2019s seasonal production Red Riding Hood, and you\u2019ve got a festive, well-rounded gathering for the masses. <\/p>\n

Free, 4-8 p.m., San Antonio River Lock & Dam, 510 Brooklyn Ave., (866) 345-7272, sariverauthority.org.\u00a0<\/p>\n
