Well, besides a gazillion Kolache Festivals (yep, Texas is full of Czech towns, as well as German and Mexican), we have the infamous Mosquito Festival in Lake Jackson and Clute. Then there are Crawfish festivals and Rattlesnake Steak Fries (I'll pass, thank you), and there's the Riverwalk Christmas Festival in San Antonio. New Braunfels has its Wurstfest. Terlingua has its International Chili Cook-off, and if you hit it just right, you may see Waylon, Willie, and the boys. Houston has an Art Car Parade that is something to see, and a Nutcracker Market before Christmas every year, as well as Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Italian Festivals. Fredericksburg has an Easter Fires Celebration (German tradition), Katy has a Rice Festival, and Gonzales has a "Come and Take It" Festival (referring to their flag's daring the Mexican army under Santa Ana to come and take it on their fateful march to San Jacinto). There are so many, it's impossible to list them all... quilt festivals, sugar cane festivals, bluegrass and all sorts of music and art festivals, Magnolia's Renaissance Festival, stomping-of-the-grapes festivals... something almost every weekend. Is it any wonder I don't get much quilting done on the weekends?
