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 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.

Also see special calendars on our other focus pages dedicated to Arts, Car Shows, Market & Trade Days, Motorcycling, Pets & Vets, Quilting, and others.

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.
