About Gonzales County Youth Show
The Gonzales County Fair in Gonzales is an October fair celebrating the "Come and Take It" spirit of the first shot fired in the Texas Revolution on October 2, 1835, when Gonzales citizens refused to surrender their cannon to Mexican authorities and launched the Texas War for Independence.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, Come and Take It historical celebrations, and a community fair with a deep connection to the founding story of Texas independence.
Visitor Tips
Gonzales is where Texas's revolution began — the Gonzales Memorial Museum, the Come and Take It Days celebration each October, the Gonzales County Old Jail Museum, the Pioneer Village, and the beautiful Guadalupe River through town make Gonzales one of the most historically significant small towns in the Lone Star State.
