Cattle Country Festival Grounds
The 2025 installment of the Cattle Country Festival returns to the expansive 400-acre ranch in Gonzales, Texas, known as “The Boot,” nestled along the Guadalupe River. Conveniently located just an hour from Austin, San Antonio, and Houston, this picturesque venue promises another unforgettable weekend.
Building on the success of its first year, the ranch transforms into a weekend oasis, creating a unique sense of camaraderie among attendees—often with musicians joining in the fun. From tailgating and games to fishing and floating on the Guadalupe River, the festivities kick off long before the first act and continue well after the headliner’s final performance. With an intimate setup, the festival grounds offer fans an unparalleled opportunity to connect with their favorite artists.
“On behalf of the vibrant community of Gonzales, Texas, we extend a heartfelt welcome to all guests of the Cattle Country Festival,” Susan Sankey, Interim Director of the Gonzales Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture, shared in a statement. “This is especially fun as we celebrate our town’s 200th birthday in 2025. The economic impact from the festival’s inaugural year was purely remarkable and prosperous for Gonzales and its presence enriches our town and brings our shared love for music and culture to life. We appreciate Cattle Country fans for celebrating with us in this remarkable milestone bicentennial year, and we look forward to creating unforgettable memories together.”
