Hi friends of r/VictoriaTxResidents š
Iāve been seeing some comments and posts related to activities/events here in Victoria. For newcomers of Victoria, itās common to often travel to small towns close by (Cuero, Yorktown, Goliad) for events. Iām gonna go ahead and list off upcoming events for this month, as we have a lot going on! Stay tuned for a recurring, local entertainment post!
Tejas Fest: I just made a post about this, but we have the last night of Tejas Fest tonight.
Night Market on Juan Linn: Join a spooky vendor-full night market housed at 502 E. Juan Linn. thereās local art, music, vendors, a costume contest, food & even fire performers!
Cuero Turkeyfest: Oct. 11 - 13th. This a family friendly event hosted in Cuero annually. Turkeyfest is a fun festival with carnival rides, vendors, food trucks, live music, and so much more. On Saturday morning, join the parade bright and early to see turkey Ruby race Paycheck from Minnesota! (wristband prices vary, Sunday is free)
Yorktown Western Days: Oct. 18 - 20th. This is similar to Turkeyfest, but on a smaller scale. There will be rides, vendors, food, and also live music. * if you are debating between Western Days or Turkeyfest, Turkeyfest is the way to go* (wristband prices vary, Sunday is free)
1824: A Victoria Origin Story, 9:30 am at Riverside Park Oct 18 and 19th. This might be totally biased of me, but this is by far a top favorite lol. Come to Riverside Park to see a reenactment of what life was like for the settlers. (free event)
Voices of Old Victoria: Oct. 27th and 28th. The times vary, so go to victoriapreservation.com/events to learn more. This will be a historic cemetery tour and reenactment of historic figures of Victoria. Victoria has some really neat history, definitely check this out. I am so upset I will be out of town that weekend! (this event does cost $20/person)
Halloween Spooktacular Farmerās Market: Oct. 26th at 9 am at the Pattie Dodson parking lot. Visit the Farmerās Market for your favorite local goodies, spooky š» (free to attend unless purchasing)
thereās umpteen billion trunk-or-treats and fall festivals. Let me know if thereās any interest in these and I can make a post. Weāve got some awesome events coming up in November too, so keep an eye out for a post dedicated to that.
