Gillespie County Fair

Saddle up for the oldest continuous county fair in Texas, because the Gillespie County Fair is ready to bring the heat and the sweet tea to Fredericksburg! This four-day Hill Country blowout features everything from live pari-mutuel horse racing and thrilling carnival midway rides to antique tractor displays and a highly competitive washer-pitching tournament. You can sink your teeth into classic funnel cakes and sausage-on-a-stick, cheer on the livestock judging, and even witness the crowning of the Fair Queen. Throw in some late-night dancing under the starry Texas sky, fascinating agricultural exhibits, and a whole lot of old-fashioned hospitality, and you have the perfect summer getaway for the entire family.
