Where the Festival Takes Place
Venue: The Park of East Texas
Last year, we made the move to our new venue at The Park of East Texas. It’s a wonderful 300-acre area in West Tyler, and it’s the home for the East Texas State Fair. We are very excited to host the party once again in the same location. Here’s a recap of the 2025 event.
Since we began in 2014, we have had the opportunity to bring so many great bands to our Red Dirt BBQ and Music Festival, including: Whiskey Myers, Randy Rogers Band, Turnpike Troubadours, Josh Abbott Band, Cody Johnson, Parker McCollum, Koe Wetzel, Robert Earl Keen, Ty Myers, Braxton Keith, Treaty Oak Revival, and so many more.
In addition to the music, our festival has featured many of Texas’ best and most celebrated barbecue joints, each showcasing its own delicious smoked meats for attendees. Stay tuned; we will announce all of our BBQ vendors soon.
