Spirit Of Texas Festival: Round Top Meets Nutcracker Market In Aggieland

A four-day charity event featuring entertainment, vendors, cookoffs, contests and world-record attempts is coming to Wolf Pen Creek Park & Amphitheater in College Station. 

The 2017 Spirit of Texas Festival will run March 2-5. Organizers plan to try to break world records for the largest pot of chili and the largest group of Texas Two-Steppers. There will be an art contest and show, a barbecue cookoff, food trucks, car and bike shows, a pageant and much more. The event is to benefit selected charities: K9s 4 Cops, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas, and Mobility Worldwide.
