Texas Arts and Music Festival is excited to share this year’s music line-up featuring a variety of Texas-based bands. The festival’s free Saturday night concert attracts locals and out-of-town guests and has been a crowd favorite during a weekend filled with free public events.
Recognized as the 2025 “Visit Brenham Tourism Partner of the Year”, this will be the festival’s 11th year celebrating and promoting Texas artists, craftspeople, and music in Historic Downtown Brenham, Texas. The weekend free events kick off on Friday, October 16 with a Juried Art Show highlighting local visual artists and hosted by Brenham Heritage Museum, 105 S. Market Street.
Saturday and Sunday’s festival events fill downtown Brenham with two public art mural installations, an Art Village with local art and crafts, food trucks. The festival begins at 10 am and the live music begins at 4pm on Saturday and 11:30 am on Sunday.
Headlining this year’s festival is San Antonio’s native sons, The Last Bandoleros. These talented musicians with impressive harmonies have been opening for Sting, The Marvericks, Los Lobos, and Dwight Yoakum.
The trio lovingly refer to their unique sound – a mix of Rock, Pop, Country and Latin flavor – as “TexFlex” – also the name of their critically acclaimed album’s Tex Flex & Tex Flex Folklórico. The Last Bandoleros’ Live from Texas, soared to #6 on the iTunes album chart directly following their kinetic 2020 performance on ABC’s Good Morning America-the group performed on GMA again in 2022.
