Area Events

Mardi Gras, Car Shows, Music Festivals

Events, festivals, goings-on… there’s always something to do in Jefferson! When you stay at our Inn in East Texas, just ask our great innkeepers what is happening in the area.

A Sample of Annual Events in Town

Every January, the Pulpwood Queens book club brings famous authors to town for their Girlfriend Weekend Festival, where participants dress up for the theme of the year, enjoy some activities such as a meal served to your table by an author, book readings by the author, book signing, and a ball. Don’t miss this very creative festival — you’ll have the time of your life.The Annual Pilgrimage in the Spring has been running for over 70 years; during this time, many of the Historic homeowners open their doors for visitors to enjoy. People flock to Jefferson to behold these houses that were built in the 1800s and lovingly restored by the owners over the years. Most owners believe keeping the homes true to their historic roots is preferable to updating completely. Battle for Jefferson Civil War reenactment is the largest in the state of Texas. Come to relive what could have happened here in 1864. During this weekend-long event in May, you’ll find a parade, Grand ball where you’ll be transported to the late 1800s where everyone is attired in period clothing, and skirmishes around the downtown streets.

For a more complete Calendar of Events for the year, we try to keep you updated with a list of activities on our blog too.

February (or March) Mardi Gras Upriver is a three-day festival complete with the purple, green, and gold-beaded necklaces. Who needs to travel downriver to New Orleans for the best Mardi Gras Festival around? Join the whole town for the parade, live music on stage, and parties galore.

Spring

April brings many pretty and buff cars and trucks for the Outlaw Nationals Car Show

Spring is a great time to just walk around town and enjoy the new flowers especially the azaleas showing off their beautiful blooms

May is the Annual Pilgrimage running for over 70 years; during this time, many of the Historic homeowners are on tour. People flock to Jefferson to behold these houses that were built in the 1800s and lovingly restored by the owners over the years. Pilgrimage would not be complete without the Diamond Bessie Murder Trial play.

Summer

Summer in East Texas is warm and wonderful. Most weekends you will see old cars and or motorcycles all over town.
Jefferson is nestled between two lakes; Lake O the Pines and Caddo Lake, each with varying activities for the summertime. If you’ve got a boat, Kayak or Canoe either of the lakes or even along the Bayou would be a fantastic place for some boating around Jefferson.
In town you’ll find many, many gorgeous front yards lining the streets loaded with roses and other flowers filling the air with heady aromas. Plus there are plenty of huge old trees shading much of town which makes for relaxing strolls holding hands with your sweetheart.

Fall

Fall in Jefferson brings cooler weather and an abundance of autumn colors to the landscape. Here in the Piney Woods we have some of the most gorgeous leaf colors around, after the heat of summer the days are crisper and much more enjoyable for hiking, biking, strolling, boating and fishing.
Most of all are the many events that year after year call Jefferson Texas home. The Burn Run, Texas Sounds, Bigfoot convention and History Haunts and Legends are just a few events in the fall.

Christmas

Christmas time in Jefferson Texas begins with the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Lion’s Park, followed by the annual Christmas Candlelight tour of homes. The Historic Jefferson Foundation has put together a tour of homes nostalgically decorated for the season, ranging from the Victorian to the mid 1900’s-era houses. Tickets allow you to visit each home on the tour and glimpse the preservation results the owners so lovingly attain in their homes.
All over town you will see decorations of every variation to give you that warm and jolly feeling.
