EVENT DESCRIPTION

Frontier Days is George Ranch’s annual fall living-history festival, bringing more than 100 years of Texas history to life. The day includes cattle-working demonstrations, historic home tours, battle reenactments, games, vendors, food trucks, music, entertainment, and hands-on activities.

We usually see people in period clothing and military uniforms along with blacksmith demonstrations, cowboy activities, historic homes, and ranch animals.

The George Ranch tells the story of generations of Texas ranch life through historic homes and working ranch settings, giving us a wide variety of backgrounds and subjects to explore.
All skill levels are welcome, and you can bring anything from a smartphone to your favorite handheld camera.

Frontier Days is a busy event with lots happening throughout the property, so come ready to explore, watch for interesting moments, and enjoy a day of photography with the group.
