(Seguin) — The City of Seguin’s Main Street Program and Visit Seguin are in preparation mode for the annual Pecan Fest scheduled for October 26, 2024. The annual event is a celebration of Seguin’s famous nut and the community’s cultural and agricultural heritage.
The annual event includes vendors, live entertainment, history, kids’ activities, and of course, pecans. Multiple nonprofit organizations and businesses host their own official Pecan Fest event creating a packed weekend of fun.
“Every year we (Seguin Main Street & Visit Seguin) work with our partners in planning and promoting Pecan Fest and all the activities associated with the day, like the Haunted Magnolia Hotel guided tours, the Wilson Pottery Foundation’s pottery show, and the Big Red Barn’s ag exhibits,” said Kyle Kramm, Seguin Main Street & CVB Director, “And we want to encourage other organizations to be involved in Pecan Fest 2024 by hosting their own Pecan Fest event.”
To host an official Pecan Fest event, the organization needs to develop an event that includes pecans or has a connection to Seguin’s heritage. Once the event concept has been developed, complete the participation form at the Seguin Main Street office at 200 S. Austin Street. As your organization works to develop their Pecan Fest event, you are encouraged to consult with the staff of Seguin Main Street and Visit Seguin to discuss your plans.
Not looking to host your own Pecan Fest event? Maybe you might be interested in being a vendor at Pecan Fest. Seguin Main Street will be hosting their Fall Trade Days during Pecan Fest and there is still limited room for vendors. Vendor applications can be found online at www.seguingonuts.com or at the Seguin Visitor Center at 200 S. Austin Street.
Should you have any questions about participating in Pecan Fest 2024, contact the Seguin Main Street Program at (830) 401-2448 or mainstreet@seguintexas.gov.
Mark your calendars now to plan on having a nutty good time on October 26 at Pecan Fest 2024.
