Summer is here and it’s time to break out of your routine and explore. There’s no better place to start than in Round Top and the surrounding areas. This Texas countryside can take you away without making you travel far (or break the bank on gas).

The month of June will be a paradise for art lovers in the Round Top region with galleries, classes, live performances and more. There is also plenty of outdoor fun to be had from bike adventures to fun eating, drinking and arty strolls. We’ve got you covered with all the best events and happenings in greater Round Top.

These are the Best Things To Do in Round Top this June:

ARTS International Invitational – Road Trips

This art exhibition and the upcoming sale of pieces evokes the feelings of freedom found in escaping the confines of the pandemic. Even if that escape is only in the mind. You’ll find it at ARTS Gorman Gallery in Schulenburg and online through June 25.
