Interview with the Gillespie County Fair & Festivals Association

We recently had the pleasure of interviewing the Gillespie County Fair & Festivals Association, the dedicated team behind some of the most cherished Fredericksburg TX events. During our conversation, we learned about the proud tradition of the Queen’s Court, where local young women represent the community with grace and enthusiasm throughout the year. We also explored the many different types of entries that are exhibited at the Fair each year; anything from quilting, baking, house plants, to hay. We promise there’s a category for everyone! And of course, no fair or festival would be complete without live music — from toe-tapping country to Tejano, the entertainment keeps crowds coming back year after year. Whether you’re a longtime local or a first-time visitor, these events embody the heart of Fredericksburg’s culture and hospitality.
