Hey friends, Ripple here 💙

Tonight’s Christmas on the Pecos is cancelled due to hazardous road conditions.

Even though the river looks okay, getting everyone here safely matters most to us.

If you had boat tickets, don’t worry — refunds will be sent your way automatically.

Thank you for understanding and for always showing up for this special community tradition.

Please stay safe, stay warm, and I’ll see you back on the Pecos very soon. 🎄✨

Today, Saturday, Dec. 6th
📢 Important Update from Ripple the Elf 📢
We’re truly sorry to share that all boat rides for tonight’s Christmas on the Pecos are canceled, due to gusty winds expected to begin right as our first boats would have launched.
After closely monitoring our trusted weather sources — the same ones we rely on nightly to make safety decisions — we determined it would not be safe for our pontoons to operate in these conditions. Guest safety is always our top priority.
We understand this news is disappointing and appreciate your patience and understanding.
💳 If you had tickets for tonight, you have been automatically refunded.
🎟️ We invite you to schedule another night by visiting christmasonthepecos.com
— we’d love to welcome you back when the weather is calm and the lights are twinkling!
Thank you,
