Annual Celebration Honors Founding of Dripping Springs
The City of Dripping Springs Annual Founders Day Festival is the city's biggest community event.
Thousands of people will gather in Dripping Springs’ historic downtown district on April 26-28, 2024 for a festive celebration of heritage and pioneer spirit.
The three-day celebration kicks off with the Grand Parade and includes: free music and entertainment, the Mighty Thomas Carnival, food, beer, street dances, cook-off competitions, over 150 arts and crafts booths and business vendors.
The Annual Founders Day Festival honors and celebrates the founding of the Dripping Springs community in 1850 by the Moss, Wallace, and Pound families. The three-day jubilee promotes cooperation and volunteerism in the community and generates community spirit and recreation.
