Inaugural Williamson County Fair and Rodeo kicks off after year-long delay

The event was postponed last year due to the pandemic.

TAYLOR, Texas — Put on your boots and get ready for some Texas-sized fun, Williamson County! The inaugural Williamson County Fair and Rodeo will kick off Thursday at the expo center in Taylor. 

The event was originally scheduled to make its debut last year but was postponed due to the pandemic. 

The fair and rodeo will run from Thursday, Oct. 21, through Saturday, Oct. 23. Each night, attendees can enjoy carnival rides and games, pig races, a petting zoo, a farmers market, food and music

Roger Creager will headline the main stage on Friday night, and Tracy Byrd will headline Saturday. Fairgoers can also catch performances from an assortment of Central Texas musicians at the "Local Talent Stage" in The Corkyard.

Friday and Saturday will also feature the rodeo.

In December 2019, the Williamson County Commissioners Court approved an agreement with the Williamson County Fair Association for the County to fund $100,000 as seed money for the association. The association will reimburse the County within four years. The commissioners also hold the right to forgive that debt.

The Williamson County Expo Center is located at 5350 Bill Pickett Trail in Taylor.
