They celebrate everything from hot peppers to sweet potatoes, and Czech culture to early Texas history. Most festivals have a children's area and make an outstanding family trip. The festivals can be combined with a local bed and breakfast for a romantic week-end with your special person or go with a group of friends. If you are single and looking for someone special, these festivals give you an excellent opportunity to meet singles from the local scene plus a few from the metroplex who venture there for the festivities.
Many celebrations feature street dances.
They add to the entertainment and give you the best chance to meet new people from the local scene. Most festivals have free admission, a few have nominal charges for the street dances or particular activities, and all have charges for food. The food activities offer another way to meet the natives. You can arrange to spend Saturday night if you wish. A designated driver can get you or your group safely home after the dance.
