Fall in Love with New Braunfels

Fall in New Braunfels is… different. Sure, we’re famous for summer things like floating, shopping, live music, and floating. Did we mention floating? When fall rolls in, the weather cools off, the crowds shrink, and the pace slows.

This is festival season. The headliner is Wurstfest – a 10-day salute to sausage that runs, this year, from November 7th to the 16th. Sure, there’s plenty of beer, Alpine music, and dancing, but sausage is why this festival has been rollicking since 1961. We guarantee you’ll end up chicken dancing with some new friends.

The Comal County Fair is celebrating its 131st year of parades, rodeos, and classic carnival fare from September 24th to the 28th. The fair is a great place to ride rides, of course, but don’t miss the animals, live music, and mutton bustin’. We’re partial to the Kiddie Tractor Pull.

For a true slice of Americana, make plans to be at Wassailfest on December 4th. Downtown New Braunfels shuts down the streets and local businesses serve up Wassail – a warm drink made of cider, spices, and possibly something “leaded.” There’ll also be plenty of caroling, snacks, and twinkling lights.

If you’re bringing kids with you, the Sundrop Springs Fall Festival is famous for its pumpkin patch, hayrides, petting zoo, pig races (yeah, really), and live music. Fall Festival weekends begin September 27th. For history buffs, we recommend the Sophienburg Musuem, Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture, and Historic Old Town.

With this much to do, you’ll obviously need to stay for a week. That obviously should be at Camp Landa. We’re located in Downtown New Braunfels, which makes it easy to get to what you want to do and easy to get back to home base for some relaxation in the Oasis Pool (with swim-up bar), or grabbing lunch or dinner in the Yum Yum Cafe. Be sure to ask us about our upcoming Football Weekends and how fun Halloween is here.
