Two headliners make this one of the better weekends on the Kerrville calendar

Pint & Plow Brewing Co. marks its 10th anniversary with the Hobo Gala, a Clay Street block party running noon to 8 p.m. Saturday that doubles as a fundraiser for the Doyle Community Center

A decade of cold beer and community spirit collides with the disco era Saturday in what should be one of the more memorable weekends Kerrville has seen in a while.

Pint & Plow Brewing Co. marks its 10th anniversary with the Hobo Gala, a Clay Street block party running noon to 8 p.m. Saturday that doubles as a fundraiser for the Doyle Community Center. Admission is free, the kitchen will be open all day with the regular menu, and the brewery is releasing its new seasonal brew — a coffee blonde called “Hobo Bill” — for the occasion.

Three acts are on the outdoor stage: Three of a Kind from 12:30 to 2 p.m., the Travis Pierce Band from 5 to 6:30 p.m., and Aaron LaCombe closing things out from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Between sets, there’s a storytelling hour around a barrel fire from 3 to 4 p.m., a tile mosaic workshop hosted by the Kerr County Love Project from noon to 3 p.m., and a block printing booth run by Schreiner University students running all day.

For those who want to make an evening of it, two ticketed steak dinners are available — 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. seatings, 50 tickets each, $100 per person. The dinner includes a 12-ounce wood-grilled steak, salad, hobo stew, two sides, two beverages and a commemorative glass. Tickets are available at pintandplow.com.

Then, Saturday night at 7:30 p.m., the Cailloux Theater presents Bee Gees Gold, billed as America’s top tribute to the kings of disco. The show is part of the SouthStar Bank Cailloux Performances Series and features John Acosta — who has spent more than 14 years performing as Barry Gibb — alongside Eric Sean as Robin Gibb and Pete Sprague as Maurice Gibb, backed by a six-piece live band.

The set spans the Bee Gees’ full run, from early British pop hits like “Massachusetts” and “I Started a Joke” through Saturday Night Fever-era staples — “Stayin’ Alive,” “You Should Be Dancing,” “Night Fever,” and more. Good seats remain in some sections. Tickets run $35 to $65 and are available at the Cailloux box office at 910 Main St., by phone at (830) 896-9393, or at CaillouxPerformingArts.com. Online buyers should avoid sponsored third-party links, which charge significantly higher prices.
