Kerrville, Texas (Nov. 18, 2025) – The City of Kerrville is excited to announce the kickoff of the annual “Christmas in Kerrville” Poem Search, inviting community members to share their creativity and help capture the charm and spirit of the holiday season.

In Kerrville’s glow of holiday cheer,
The river shimmers crystal clear.
Lights dance softly, hearts grow bright—
Christmas in Kerrville feels just right.
Community members of all ages are encouraged to submit an original poem following these rules and regulations. Each poem must be accompanied by a signed release form by the poet or their legal guardian. Submissions are being accepted now through Dec. 2 at 5 p.m CT. After the submission window closes, City staff will review entries anonymously and select the top three poems for public voting on the City’s Facebook page from Dec. 3–5 until 10 a.m. CT.
