Visitor Tips
Bandera lives up to its title as the Cowboy Capital — Arkey Blue's Silver Dollar (the oldest continuously operating honky-tonk in Texas), the Medina River for swimming and kayaking, Lost Maples State Natural Area, and Medina Lake fishing all make Bandera a superb Hill Country destination.
About Bandera County Fair
Every year, Bandera hosts the Bandera County Fair, which is an October fair in the "Cowboy Capital of the World," celebrating the dude ranch, cypress creek, and Hill Country ranching heritage of a county that has welcomed guests to its working cattle ranches since the 1880s.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a community fair with a strong Western and cowboy culture flavor in the cypress-shaded Medina River country of the Texas Hill Country.
