This year, the Rainwater Revival will take over the Dripping Springs Ranch Park and Event Center. Though scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., arrive early to this popular event to get the chance to see as much as you can. With so many activities for kids and adults, you’ll want to devote the entire day to this event on Hill Country living.

How Much are Tickets and What About Kids?

While you pay nothing to get in, bring some extra cash to pay for food, drinks, and raffle tickets. Local food and wine producers will sell their wares for you to enjoy but don’t think you must leave the kids at home. The Rainwater Revival has several activities for them, too. Kids can listen to child-friendly musician “Mr. Will” DuPuy at 10:30 a.m., and later, they can learn about science and nature at the many interactive activities from Science Mill, Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center, and Families in Nature.

Come prepared to see new products and learn about ways you can live a greener life in the Texas Hill Country, so you can do your part to preserve this part of Texas for generations to come.
