Five days of tradition, thrills, and Texas-sized fun

The Comal County Fair is back starting today! Itā€™s the largest county fair in Central Texas and a cherished tradition that brings the community together.

From today through Sunday, the fairgrounds will be buzzing with rodeos, livestock shows, parades, live music, carnival rides, and food vendors serving up local favorites.

Visitors can also explore arts and crafts exhibits, watch thrilling competitions, and soak in the vibrant spirit of Texas heritage. With activities for all agesā€”whether itā€™s kids enjoying the carnival or adults dancing under the starsā€”the Comal County Fair is the perfect way to make memories with family and friends.

A sensory journey inside Natural Bridge Caverns

On Sunday, join instructor Winzer Van Delden for a truly magical experienceā€”gentle, all-levels yoga paired with a resonant sound bath inside the ancient ballroom of Natural Bridge Caverns, 180 feet underground.

This naturally formed space offers breathtaking acoustics and atmosphere, making it the perfect backdrop for mindfulness and movement.

The session begins with a guided walk through the stunning Hidden Cavern at 8 a.m., followed by yoga at 9 a.m. Capacity is limited to just 65 participants, so early booking is encouraged.

āœØ BYOM (bring your own mat) and get ready for a morning of silence, sound, and wonder. Tickets are $44.99 and include the cavern walk-through (normally $30+ value).
