Lockhart Heritage Festival

Grab your cowboy hat and boots, because the Chisholm Trail Roundup is saddling up for another legendary weekend in the Barbecue Capital of Texas! What started over 50 years ago as a humble hometown celebration has blossomed into Lockhart’s largest annual festival, drawing thousands to honor the historic cattle-driving routes of the Old West. This three-day extravaganza is packed with family-friendly thrills, featuring a full-blown carnival, live country and Tejano music, mouthwatering barbecue cook-offs, and an authentic cowboy breakfast cooked over a chuckwagon fire. With a spectacular Grand Parade rolling through the historic downtown square and endless community spirit, it is an unforgettable tribute to the frontier days where the brisket is hot and the Texan hospitality is even hotter.
