Sunday: Shiner Hobo Band

Beer Tent Independence Square, Gonzales

The Shiner Hobo Band performances are full of spontaneous laughs, surprise solos, and inside jokes between bandmates that somehow include the whole crowd. You'll hear their classic theme song, The Shiner Song, and polkas so lively they might get you dancing on your way to the beer line.

Daughters of the Republic of Texas Annual Memorial Service

This memorial stands in tribute to Green DeWitt, Empresario and founder of the DeWitt Colony, whose leadership helped shape the early settlement of Gonzales and surrounding areas. Alongside him, we honor Sarah Seely DeWitt, a Texas patriot and matriarch whose legacy includes the crafting of the now-iconic "Come and Take It" flag — sewn by her and her daughter, Naomi, in defense of liberty.

Jurassic Dino Experience & Caged Raptor

Texas Heroes Square Texas Heroes Square, Gonzales

Bring the whole family out to experience prehistoric party vibes with Jurassic S.A., a high-energy dinosaur entertainment group traveling all the way from San Antonio! These life-sized dinos will be stomping through the Come and Take It Celebration all Sunday long — dancing to live music, judging the car show, and (probably) sneaking a few snacks from the cook-off.
