Events in the Texas Hill Country
Winter time in the Texas Hill Country features events galore for the locals and tourist that make it down South for the warm weather. It can be hit or miss with the weather in South Texas during the winter time. Some days are sunny and gorgeous with temperatures in the 60 to 80’s. Some weeks the rain and cold can show up and make an outdoor trip or music vest not so fun. There are some cool Mardi Gras celebrations and the hunting and fishing can be top notch. Winter time is a great time to hit the Texas Hill Country’s plethora of golf courses as well.

November Events

- Hunters welcome in Lampasas
- BucketFest in Bandara
- Fall Antique Show in Borne
While it seems like an “October” Event, one of the biggest Octoberfest in the USA is held the first weekend in November in New Braunfels. It’s located 1/2 in between San Antonio and Austin, and one very cool German Tourism Town. They have a nice grounds specifically built for the event located next to the downtown strip. The grand hall burned down a few years ago, so we have not seen the new setup, nor attended the event since COVID. It’s a must on our to do this this year.
