Planning a trip to the Texas Hill Country this summer? Here are a few favorite events happening in July and August:

For July 4th, check out Robert Earl Keen’s 4th on the River. Located in Kerrville, this all-day event features live music, food and beer, bounce houses and the largest fireworks display in the Texas Hill Country.
The 3rd Saturday in July is Night in Old Fredericksburg, a summer evening of food, live music, an evening dance and a chili cook-off.
August 26th-29th is the annual Gillespie County Fair, the oldest county fair in Texas.

Or perhaps you’d enjoy tubing and kayaking on the Medina River, a visit to the San Antonio Zoo or the always popular Cowboys on Main in Bandera. How do you like to spend summer in the Hill Country?

Looking for ways to cool off in the Texas Hill Country? Here are a few ideas:

The Medina River is a wonderful place for tubing and kayaking. Contact the Medina River Company in Bandera or Bandera City Park (also a great place for picnicking and swimming) for more information.
The Red Cove Cafe and Marina on Medina Lake in Mico, Texas doesn’t allow swimming but has excellent burgers; Joe’s Place Marina and Resort offers swimming, fishing and picnicking.
Prefer a water park? The Flying L Ranch Resort (right in Bandera) has a small but fun water park, as well as golf, horseback riding and other activities.
The Boerne City Lake Park offers a fishing pier, 9-hole frisbee golf, a butterfly garden, picnicking and more.
Or visit the Kerrville Olympic Pool, which charges only $1 for admission and has a kids’ pool and high dive boards.
The Louise Hayes Park in Kerrville also offers a cute splash area.

Or spend the afternoon at our very own resort pool… stay cool and happy travels!
