This weekend, one of the most anticipated fall festivals hits downtown Dripping Springs with the 10th annual Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival. The 3-day music festival runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday along Mercer Street in the heart of the Dripping Springs historical district.

More than 40 local and national artists will be in town for this festival which features more than 30 shows a day. Audiences are treated to a wide variety of amazing songs and the people and stories behind them as groups of local, national and international songwriters perform “in-the-round”, Nashville- style. The best part, aside from the amazing tal- ent, is the festival is free. The festival is sponsored by the City of Dripping Springs, through its visitors bureau and business sponsors in the community.
