It's almost time for the 26th Annual General Sam Houston Folk Festival! This festival, which involves folk life demonstrations, and living history reenactments, will be held on the grounds of the Sam Houston Memorial Museum Park. 

 

26th Annual General Sam Houston Folk Festival

The Sam Houston Memorial Park is a 19 Acre complex that is home to several of General Sam Houston's homes, a museum, education center, general store, a lake, and walking trails.

 

The park alone is a sight to see. Fill it full of people dressed in period clothing blowing glass, molding pottery, and blasting cannons -- and you've got a FOLK FESTIVAL!

 

There will be wood workers and leather workers. You will hear a cowboy poet, learn about your Native American ancestors, and be entertained by the dulcimer players.

 

This 3 day event will take place on Friday, May 3 from 9 AM to 4 PM, Saturday, May 4 from 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday, May 5 from 10 AM to 5 PM.

Joni, the Sam Houston Park is beautiful!    Would be nice to see leaves again.     Looks like a reasonable priced event, and should be well attended.

Joan: Schools from all over Houston and the surrounding areas bus their children in to attend this event. It is WELL attended and lots of fun!!

Anita: I would love to be able to go if only long enough to get a couple of pictures. So far, I have had mother and it is too much walking for her, and she can't stay alone. Maria is scheduled this Saturday, so maybe I will be able to go for a little while.

Al and Peggy: My son may come in this weekend. He LOVED this festival as a child.

George: My son, too! He loves anything historical!
