Scheduled live performances include gunfighters, stories and music throughout the day, including Musicians and Storytellers Lee Haile and Glenn Murray, Front Porch Pickers Cowboy songs with Lew and Danny, trick-roper Will Fitzpatrick and Dr. Bob’s Medicine Show.
Sponsored by the Bandera Business Association, all activities are free.
