MESSAGE FROM THE TURKEYFEST BOARD OF VOLUNTEERS
Hey y’all!!! Turkeyfest weekend is here!
The Turkeyfest Board of Volunteers invites you to be part of a long-standing Cuero tradition and make some great memories with friends and family.
Friday night kicks off with the gates opening at 5 PM! Enjoy live music from local bands, the carnival, BBQ judging, and end the night with The Frontmen! These 3 Stars have a combined total of over 30 country hits! You know them all! Come sing along and dance because they put on an incredible show!
Saturday starts early, y’all! At 7:30 AM, come enjoy FREE pancakes and breakfast tacos at the downtown walkway on Main Street.
Then at 10:30 AM, watch the Great Gobbler Gallop Turkey Race to see who wins this year — Ruby Begonia or Paycheck! Followed by the Turkeyfest Parade!
Right after the parade, come on up to the city park. the gates open at 11 am and it’s FREE until 3 PM! So come on in, grab a bite to eat, grab a cold drink, and enjoy live music while you shop the vendors.
There’s fun for the whole family with more BBQ judging for the cook-off, the Whataburger Jalapeño Eating Contest, a petting zoo, and tons of activities for the kids — like the Kids BBQ Cook-Off, Kids Cowboy Cooking at the Chuck Wagon, animal races, and of course, the carnival and games!
As the evening rolls on, the concerts kick into high gear starting with great local musicians, Tejano from ASG Los Amigos and Grupo Mania, and then rising country star Kolby Cooper opens up for country legend Craig Morgan to close out the night!
That’s not all, Sunday is FREE all day! It’s a laid-back day to relax, grab those items you’ve been eyeing from the vendors, and try the food you might’ve missed earlier in the weekend. Enjoy more live music and cold drinks, watch the kids run around the knoll for the Turkey Egg Hunt, and cheer them on in the Kids Tractor Pull! The afternoon wraps up with a performance from the legendary Gene Watson to close it all out.
We hope to see you there, laughing, dancing, and making memories with friends and family.
And go Ruby go!!!
