Texas Hill Country Fun
Featured Texas Hill Country Towns
Bandera
The cowboy capital of the world. We just made our first trip to the home of Mardi Gras in the Texas Hill Country. It’s a very cools place with an old school country and western vibe.
Fredericksburg
A quaint German tourism town and host to many great festivals throughout the year. Fredericksburg is the tourism hub for the vineyards and romantic B and B getaways in the Texas Hill Country.
Horseshoe Bay and Marble Falls
World class golf, outstanding tennis facilities, Lake LBJ, and historic main street in Marble Falls. This is one of Texas’s top travel destinations. Other cool area attractions include bald eagles, skydiving and paragliding, a very cool cave, and modest sized mountain you can climb with the kids.
New Braunfels
Home to the biggest and best OctoberFest in Texas. It’s widely considered on the best OctoberFests in the country. It’s also just a very cools place in so many other ways. Late fall and winter also bring in the rainbow trout fly fishing season. The Guadalupe River just a few miles away is a Top 100 Field and Stream trout streams.
Austin
Fall is one of the best times of year to visit the Capital of Texas. We have an entire website dedicated to the fun of Austin: Check out our Austin Fun Guide

Spring Break in the Texas Hill Country
There is a new ghost town like music destination in the Texas Hill County, giving Luckenbach a little competition. It looks a lot like Luckenbach and is also located just outside of Fredericksburg. They have a fancy website, and they are having a spring break fest for those looking to take the risk and have some fun. They have a handful of cool events hitting all the classic genres lined up for 2021. Luckenbach is pretty sweet, this place looks like a a new hip cooler version. Can’t wait to check it out. Anywho, on tap for March is a Polo and Hot Air balloon festival, complimented with the helicopter rides. Talk about super fun. Yep!
Bandara is in full swing, there is something just about every weekend if you surf around the internet. Llanao rock stacking and earth festival
Festival is Coming
2020 is now officially behind us and the much needed vaccine is now available to a lucky few. For many others the festivities and promise of a “normal” 21 seem close. Some even are officially canceled or virtual in 21, a few are already planned, while others are still in a wait and see mode. Cowboy Mardi Gras will kick things off with a band in the Hill Country, SXSW is online, ACL and the title wave of South Texas Octoberfest are anticipating a Covid free world. When the world finally open back up, it should be the party of the century.
A trip to Spider Mountain
It’s been tough to keep the fun blogging spirits up and find cool things to do in the Texas Hill Country during Covid. During the last week of September it was the owners Birthday so we had to make sure we found something fun to occupy our time. We decided to head to the upper part of Lake Buchanan with our boat to the Thunderbird Resort on Spider Mountain. Spoiler alert, it’s awesome and we can’t wait to go back.
