A true South Texas Tradition. It don’t get no more “Texas” than this! Great times, a great setting, and good ‘Ole Texas Red!

Nothing says South Texas like a big bowl of Chili Con Carne! One of the best parts of the festival is the food! Each year we cook up a big batch of chili, pan de campo, and pecan pie for dessert! We all sit around the firepits, immersed in the words of J. Frank Dobie, and fill our bellies on this delicious dish! Don’t miss all the fun, and make sure to get your tickets today at the link below!
