Heritage Festival
About the Driftwood Heritage Festival
Inspired by the Driftwood Heritage Days which were celebrated for over 20 years, the Driftwood Heritage Festival is a nod to this historic event. Hosted in 2022, the first Annual Driftwood Heritage Festival celebrated the work of the Driftwood HCS, the Hays County Historical Commission, and Vista Brewing to create the William B. Travis Historical Marker.
Over the last 4 years, the festival hosted an average annual attendance of 800 people. While approximately 40% of the attendees are from Driftwood, the festival draws in people from all over the surrounding areas. With the help of 75 dedicated volunteers the 4th Annual Driftwood Heritage Festival was a terrific success.
