What is Stars Over Texas?

(In partnership with Texas Motorplex and Night Lights Event)

Back for the third year, the Stars Over Texas Festival is a weekend full of memories you’ll never forget. During the day there’s professional bull riding, a Jambo BBQ Shootout, Craft Beer Expo, Exhibition Match Racing and more.

The live Texas Country Music starts at 3:30. After the sun goes down, we’ll come together and send up the lanterns.

Cozy up by your fire to enjoy the headline act, and then we’ll go out with a bang as we watch the fireworks together.
