Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival

Songwriters bathed in neon lights and smoke.

Join us in historic downtown Dripping Springs for the

10th anniversary Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival

October 18-20, 2024

You are invited to the heart of the beautiful Texas Hill Country to come and enjoy an exciting weekend of phenomenal singer/songwriter showcases. This 3-day music festival treats music lovers to a wide variety of amazing songs and the people and stories behind the finely crafted tunes.
The songwriting showcases give attendees the opportunity to experience tomorrow’s headliners in small-stage "listening room" performances at unique venues in historic downtown Dripping Springs. On 7 stages, featuring 70 shows, 35+ songwriters will perform in an “in the round” Nashville-style song-swap format. In its essence, the Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival is all about finely-crafted SONGS, and the talented folks who have written them. All shows downtown are FREE.

In 2020 Destination Dripping Springs, the organization devoted to promoting tourism in the Dripping Springs area, acquired the Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival and continues to produce the event to offer people the up-close and personal chance to see, hear, and get to know some very talented performers who have a deep love of the art of songwriting.

Parking is plentiful, food and drinks will be available at each venue.
