The Texas Hill Country is known for its amazing tubing opportunities in keeping with the tradition of beating the heat and ushering summer in with fun, family, and friends. Now, there’s a chance to do just that without the prerequisite of a river to float down—and on the day before Father’s Day, no less! Slide Marble Falls 2019 is happening on Saturday, June 15, 2019, in conjunction with Market Day on Main. Locals and visitors alike are welcome to take part in the first ever Urban Slide! Riders will slide down Main Street in tubes, on a 3-lane, 850-foot water slide. This one-day water party begins at 10 a.m. and runs until 10 p.m., ending in a laser light show. Sliders can register in advance for two-hour “waves,” an all-day pass, or cut the line with a Slide Fast Pass!

“We’re thrilled to bring an attraction like this to town,” said Jarrod Metzgar, Executive Director of the Marble Falls Chamber of Commerce. “Summer is such a fantastic time of year in Marble Falls, and we want to kick off the season with a bang. Water is such a big part of why people visit Marble Falls this time of year, and the slide is a fun way to bring some of that water downtown. We hope to make it an annual event.” This massive water slide event invites Austin, San Antonio, and Hill Country families, friends, and neighbors to take a break from the Texas heat while speeding through a downtown city block on inner tubes. But the party doesn’t end there! Market Day on Main, in historic downtown Marble Falls, boasts more than 70 local vendors and features amazing finds in giftware, artisan goods, and exceptional must-haves.

Slide Marble Falls 2019 brings a special brand of entertainment to this amazing Hill Country location. Turning the downtown core of this water-centric city into a massive slip-n-slide of sorts was a logical family fun initiative, and the Marble Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce and CVB is excited to host it.
Slide Marble Falls will turn historic downtown Marble Falls into a water-centric splash party, providing fun for the entire family. Sliders will climb up 40 feet above Main Street and glide down a water slide that runs almost 3 football fields in length. This is the first time the giant water slide, owned by Urban Slide, has ever been offered in the Austin, Texas, and Hill Country area.
Slide Marble Falls and Market Day on Main are rain or shine events. More than 100 volunteers are needed to bring this experience to Marble Falls. All volunteers receive a $20 (2)-hour wristband for FREE. Signup to volunteer here. Those wishing to sell food and drink offerings on-site can register to do so at the link available here.
