It's Time for Merry Memories! ☃️

It's that time of the year again when thousands of parents and children experience the magic of the holidays in Dove Springs. 🎄❄️🧑‍🎄

We are excited to be planning for the 26th Annual Merry Memories event in southeast Austin's Dove Springs community. This year's event will feature our grand signature toy giveaway and a beautiful Christmas Posada performance held on the evening of Saturday, December 16, 2023.
