To a Texan it's clear that eating a ripe, luscious Hill Country peach is the closest thing to heaven on earth. Gillespie County is famous for the delicious fruit, and Stonewall celebrates the bounty of its orchards with this annual festival. A rodeo and dance both nights, a parade, a fiddling contest, and a carnival round out the activities. Take part in the Honey Cookoff or just sample delights from award-winning honey recipes. Stick around for the entertainment, farmer's market, arts and crafts, games, and the street dance.
Local students compete in events like calf roping and barrel racing.
Lake Marble Falls is the site of the summer's most exciting drag boat races. See boats compete for three fun-filled days and take advantage of the opportunity for closer inspections. Prepare yourself for three full days of activities. The main event is the rodeo and livestock show, but you can't miss the washer-pitching contest, dance, carnival, or parade. At more than 100 years old, this fair can claim honors as the oldest continuous county fair in Texas.
