Huntsville Texas is located in Walker County in east Texas, approximately 70 miles north of Houston and 170 miles south of Dallas via Interstate 45. It is also located on Texas Highway 30 (west to Bryan-College Station) and Highway 190 (east to Livingston). We are nestled among the beautiful tall pines of East Texas.  The fair is held on the quaint historic downtown square and covers 3 city blocks.  The community comes alive each year with the sights, sounds and smells of the festival!

You will receive a 10 x 10 booth space.  Canopy tents are not required but encouraged as this is completely an outdoor event, we do not supply these, you will need to bring your own.  Please secure your canopy as well, the majority of booths will be located on the street.  Electricity is ONLY available for our food vendors.  We would love to offer electricity to everyone but simply do not have the means to do so.   When choosing your booth space take into consideration that most spaces have drive up access for loading and unloading, however; booths on 12^th Street do not.  These particular booths are located in the middle of the street, therefore; these vendors will need to park at the end of the street and carry in their items.  Remember to also bring adequate help for setting up your booth.  We plan to have many volunteers, some from SHSU, but we cannot guarantee that you will have help setting up and tearing down.

The popular Food Court will be open all day and will surely tempt your taste buds with some fair favorites such as sausage on a stick, kettlekorn, homemade root beer floats, and many “deep fried” favorites just to name a few!  The Food Court is located in the Walker County Annex parking lot on the corner of 13^th Street and University Avenue.  There are also a couple of restaurants in the area that will be open as well, The Farmhouse Café, City Hall Café, Farmhouse Sweets and Eats, Patio Cafe on the Square and The Café Texan.  All of these are easy access and walking distance from the fair.

YES!!!  A Pre-Fair on the Square concert kicks off the event on Friday night. The 2016 show will feature Jerrett Zoch and the OSR Band.
