The Driskill Tree Lighting is an annual tradition which marks the beginning of the holiday season for Austin. Held in partnership with Austin American Statesman's Season for Caring Fund, this community event is free to the public and proceeds generated are donated to Season for Caring and used to support Austin families in receiving healthcare, education, household utilities and so much more.
The cornerstone of The Driskill Tree Lighting, 100% of proceeds from our Cookies for Caring sale will be donated to the Austin American Statesman's Season for Caring Fund.
This year, we've partnered with Hyatt Regency Austin, Tommie Thompson and Hyatt Centric on South Congress to hand pack each tin with a dozen cookies. Tins are available now for pre-order or purchase at the Tree Lighting.
Our most grand event, Holiday Tea at The Driskill is sure to delight the entire family!
This beloved experience includes three lavish courses of seasonal themed delights, classic loose-leaf blends, live holiday tunes, professional family portraits and a surprise celebrity guest, St Nick himself!
This event sells out every year so don't wait to book your day of holiday cheer!
