Schreiner University homecoming, a three-day reggae festival at Roddy Tree and the 20th annual Hill Country Golf Classic lead a week that runs from Monday through Sunday without a quiet night.
The Lead's events list counts roughly three dozen live music performances alone — a run that stretches from open mics and karaoke nights to a marquee Saturday concert from "The Voice" winner Jake Hoot at the Cailloux Theater.
Whatever the taste — classical, country or somewhere in between — Kerr County's calendar for the week of Sept. 14 doesn't leave much room for boredom.
Friday brings three separate ways to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, alongside a midweek event tied to Kerrville's own flood recovery.
Between Monday and Sunday, residents can choose from wildflower walks, wheel-throwing, wine socials, a veterans benefits fair, a Schreiner football home opener, and a folk festival with a headline act — often several in a single evening.
But this year's party comes with an assignment: the library is collecting community memories ahead of its 60th anniversary in 2027.
Sigerman, a Kerrville City Councilmember, appeared to promote the second annual Water Street Festival — Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. — and to make the case that community events are not optional extras in a flood recovery economy. They are economic survival.
Tom Fox, who also established the Texas Podcast Network and serves on the board of the Museum of Western Art, wrote "Deluge Before Dawn: Heartbreak, Survival, and Resilience After the Guadalupe River Raged." Fox said the project began as a way to process his own experience of the disaster.
The group will hold auditions Saturday, Sept. 19, followed by rehearsals starting Sept. 24. The live performance is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31, at the Arcadia Live, 717 Water St.
The upcoming season marks the 26th for Symphony of the Hills, a 75-piece professional orchestra that performs at the Cailloux Theater, 910 Main St. Concerts begin at 7 p.m. and include a 6 p.m. pre-concert reception for all ticket holders.
