Float Fest, the only festival in the world to combine the Texas tradition of floating the river and live music, is excited to announce its return on July 24-26, 2020.

This year's event will be held on a 765-acre private ranch in Gonzales, Texas, bringing fans a completely new, enhanced experience. Measuring three times the size of the previous venue, the new location will offer more camping sites, additional parking, and enhanced spaces for fans to enjoy the full Texas experience.

ABOUT OUR NEW "RANCH"
The site is conveniently located one hour from from both Austin and San Antonio, two hours from Houston, and situated right off of major highway US 183, allowing for easier accessibility to and from the event. Float Fest will also offer a shuttle service to attendees from both Austin and San Antonio. With over 450-acres of pecan trees creating natural shade canopies around larger camping sites, fans can expect a pristine river trip coupled with bands on two stages rounding out an unparalleled summer festival experience. In addition to an increase of food
and beverage options and numerous general stores located right on the ranch, the site is adjacent to the city center of Gonzales, providing access to grocery stores, retailers, hotels and restaurants to enhance the weekend experience.
