If summer weren’t big, it wouldn’t be Texas. We throw several big celebrations every summer, including Juneteenth, 4th of July, and more. Here’s what you don’t want to miss this June, July, and August in Bastrop:

JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION – June 17, 2023 

Also known as Freedom Day, Juneteenth commemorates the day 250,000 enslaved Black people were freed on June 19, 1865. On that day, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay and announced that by executive order, all slaves were freed in Texas.

It’s an important day for all to celebrate, and we’re proud to throw a big shindig right here in Bastrop. Throughout the weekend, there will be:

  • A parade starting at Fisherman’s Park
  • Live music, a DJ, food, and small business vendors
  • Kid and adult activities, including family competitions
  • Evening concert with a special musical guest
