Plan the visit
Choose the specific festival day
The 2026 organizer calendar is discontinuous: Goober Games are Tuesday, coronation is Thursday, and the main downtown festival runs Friday and Saturday. Use the event you want to see rather than treating October 6-10 as five continuous public festival days.
Use Saturday for the Grand Parade and full downtown day
The organizer schedules the 2026 Grand Parade for Saturday, October 10 at 10 a.m. Downtown market and food activity then continues through the day, making Saturday the strongest single-day choice for visitors seeking the broadest festival experience.
Plan for a courthouse-square festival
The festival emphasizes free grounds admission and downtown street activity. Review the organizer's closures, parking guidance and current map before traveling, then leave room for Floresville and Wilson County outside the main festival footprint.
