Not everything fun to do has to be a spectacular festival or large undertakings. But yet there are many great things for locals to do.

The schedule below is for Hill Country activities that are more local and community-based, and that are not true festivals or major events. See the latter at: Hill Country Festivals & Major Events

And, these local activities are recurring, at least for awhile, such as a concert schedule or rodeo series or other on-going activities.

Yes, there is a lot of overlap between these two categories of gatherings, so be sure to check these dedicated pages.

Almost all wineries, distilleries, breweries, ice houses, bars, taverns, libraries, show barns, arenas, Federal/State/Local parks, city & county governments, civic/community centers and churches have live entertainment and/or social/civic/educational activities. Check each website below for updated entertainment & activity calendar details.

Very few events are held on federal holidays. Most all outdoor events are "weather permitting", so consider this before departing for an event. Dates and times can change too, even at the last minute.

Be sure to also check out the profile page in this Portal site to see full details for each town.

Plan your activities in the Texas Hill Country with this convenient list. Be sure to verify dates and times before heading out.

When you go to the activities listed here, please tell the organizers you found their information in the Hill Country Portal web site.
