In a celebratory year interrupted by a global pandemic, the party goes on and wraps up with four days of activities to mark the end of recognition of Fredericksburg’s 175th year. The long weekend starts with a Thursday pause to give thanks at a Community Worship Service, hosting a Main Street parade, dancing the night away with memories of Texas Dance Halls, and wrapping up with a wreath laying. Many other events, displays and lessons in history will occur, as well.

Fredericksburg’s milestone year draws to a close
Fredericksburgers will also have the opportunity to see the original Peace Treaty forged by John O. Meusebach and early settlers and the Penateka Comanche tribe, which is on loan from the Texas State Library and will be on display at the temporary exhibit space at the George H.W. Bush Gallery at the National Museum of the Pacific War. It is an amazing opportunity, as is the entire weekend to pay homage to those who came before and created this amazing town that has become a top Texas destination.
