Celebrate Texas Independence Day with the fun and family-friendly event happening at Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site! The park will host Houston’s Texas Independence Day Celebration, an annual two-day living history festivity to commemorate when 59 delegates bravely met in 1836 to make a formal declaration of independence from Mexico.
Presented by H-E-B, this free community event has tons of excitement for your holiday weekend! Come enjoy the picturesque, 293-acre Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site and gain unique insights into the lives and times of the 59 delegates who met on that very spot on March 2, 1836. You won’t want to miss all the fun and educational activities on display like the new exhibit entitled “So Others Could Follow: Four Centuries of Maps that Define Texas” and a special historical play, “The Birth of a Republic,” which tells the tale of the signers of the Texas Independence declaration.
The event also features two stages of non-stop live music and entertainment as well as a huge variety of local food, handmade goods, and artist creations at the Texian Village of arts and crafts! With so much to see and so many great commemorative programs, you are sure to have a blast at the Texas Independence Day celebration at Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site.
