The Texas Folklife Festival
June 12 – 14, 2009
Celebrate Everything Texas this year at the Texas Folklife Festival. For three days, friends, families, and complete strangers will come together to experience the culture and heritage of those who settled, developed and collectively define the Lone Star state.
Ten event stages will showcase 25 hours of music and engaging performances. Traditional food dishes from Europe, Asia, South America, Mexico and Texas will be featured this year, and craft aficionados, shoppers and the just plain curious are sure to get a kick out of festival demonstrators and artisans who come to share their talent.
