The Floresville Peanut Festival is celebrated every second full weekend in October with fun, games, royalty, parades, free popular live entertainment, and more! One of the greatest outdoor festivals of its kind, the Floresville Peanut Festival offers FREE parking and FREE admission to the grounds on the Courthouse Square in historic downtown Floresville.
Goober Games kicks off the festivities on Tuesday afternoon at the Floresville Event Center, offering games and activities for the younger crowd. At the Coronation on Thursday, Queen Tunaep is crowned during an elaborate ceremony that also introduces King Reboog and the Royal and Children’s Courts. The Royal wardrobe includes gorgeous gowns with long, flowing trains and opulent robes imagined by a local designer and constructed by talented family, friends, and seamstresses.
A bigger and better Carnival begins the weekend festivities with fun games and thrilling rides on Thursday night through Saturday night.

That night, assorted vendors, arts and crafts, and sumptuous festival food booths abound. Friday night’s entertainment includes a FREE street dance featuring an exciting line-up of popular bands on the Bud Light Stage.
Saturday is a massive all-day celebration, beginning with the Floresville Peanut Festival’s Grand Parade at 10:00 a.m. The day is full of entertainment for the whole family, including arts and crafts, commercial vendors, and free music and dance performances on stages around the Courthouse Square.

Food and beverage concessions remain open throughout the day and all-night Saturday to meet every appetite for popular festival favorites.
Saturday night entertainment on the Main Stage begins with the final FREE street dance, featuring an amazing line-up of popular bands before the grand finale headliner band. The night’s final entertainment will end the annual festivities on a high note!
