Nine Flags Festival : Wassail Fest November 29, 2008

Downtown Nacogdoches merchants will once again be competing for bragging rights for the best holiday brew during Wassail Fest, one of the highlights of the 11th annual Nine Flags Festival. Shoppers and other downtown visitors are invited to warm their bodies and spirits by sampling the various recipes, which will be judged on both taste and presentation. The competition is fierce, but the wassail is a warm and welcome respite for holiday shoppers. 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., downtown. Free admission.
