Plan the visit
Hold October 24-25 for Gruene
The organizer confirms Saturday and Sunday, October 24-25, 2026, with separate daily hours. Use that two-day window and recheck the official site for artist or demonstration updates before making the trip.
Plan to browse rather than rush
More than 80 Texas clay artists are expected. Give yourself time to compare work, talk with artists and move through the historic district instead of treating the festival as a quick retail stop.
Pair the festival with the historic district
The setting is part of the draw. Build in time for Gruene's historic streets, dining and nearby New Braunfels stops so the event anchors a full Hill Country day.
