Don’t miss the 30th Annual Gruene Music and Wine Festival, happening October 6-9, 2016. Gruene (pronounced “Green”) is a historical district area in New Braunfels, Texas, where tourists regularly flock for its many things to do, including great places to eat and drink, shop, dance, stay, and play. Gruene will be even more fun and exciting than usual at this year’s Music and Wine Festival, benefiting United Way of Comal County. There are concerts, food and wine tastings, shopping, and fun activities each day of the festival – four days / four distinct events.
