It is with great pleasure that we announce a remarkable opening weekend, marked by a record-breaking attendance of over 13,500 individuals passing through our newly inaugurated front gates to herald the start of our 2024 season.
In preparation for the increase in visitors, our campgrounds have expanded once more this year, ensuring ample space to accommodate even more delighted campers.
As we look forward to Week 2, we're excited to share that the weather is fantastic, the shows are spectacular, and our shops are filled with delightful treasures. We can't wait to welcome you back!

With the forecasts we had last year it’s easy to tell those weather Witches and Wizards really took their duties to the next level of weather perfection. This season is starting off with the same trend! | |

Amanda Kitchens has performed at Faires and Stages for over a decade. She sings in ten different languages and wields an accordion: the passport to see the World through song! Whether it be a Balkan wedding song or an upbeat original, you may find yourself with the uncontrollable desire to dance when you hear her at the Elven Hill Stage.

First brewed in 1995, Ziegenbock is brewed with pride in the heart of Texas.
Brewed in Houston, ZiegenBock is a beer of the South. Only available in Texas, this American-style amber lager offers notes of roasted grains in the aroma and a sweet, smooth taste with a hop finish. The select imported hops and specialty malts create a taste worthy of a 2006 Great American Beer Festival Bronze Medal.

Campground Guard Shack number: 979-575-3497
- Do NOT line up on the highway prior to noon on Friday.
- All FoF or Participant tags must be visible.
- No Ground Fires! All campfires must be in a raised firepit. Due to the excessive number of ground fires the past few years we are tightening the policy for safety reasons. If you have a ground fire in your camp you may be asked to leave immediately for the weekend.
- If you have a campfire you must also have a fire extinguisher within easy reach of your campfire.
- Pets must be kept on a leash in the campgrounds. Pets found wandering risk being picked up by animal control. (Reminder- Pets are not allowed in the fairegrounds.)
- It can be tough to snag your perfect camping spot. Never fear though – if you have trouble finding where you want to go, just come back to the guard shack and ask for someone to help you!
- Place the correct trash in the correct areas/trash bins (look for the signs).
- Campground dumpsters are for household trash only. No bulk items (pallets, broken tents, etc). If you need help with a larger item, call the guard shack number above.
- If there will be a burn ban, Ray will post on the Book of Faces as soon as possible. Feel free to ask him as often as you wish. He loves that.
