Septemberfest is an annual festival held the second Saturday of September in the small town of Cranfills Gap, TX. This festival is quintessential Americana, a small town parade travelling down 3rd Street followed by a cook-off, car show, and fun for all ages in the town park. Septemberfest 2012, the thirty-fifth Septemberfest, will be held on September 8.
Septemberfest is an annual festival that helps raise money for the community of Cranfills Gap. The Septemberfest committee has used the money raised from the annual festival to help purchase and remodel the community center, to help improve the Wade Lee City Park, as well as give scholarships to students graduating from Cranfills Gap High School. To date the generosity of the visitors to our annual festival has allowed the committee to give back more than $120,000 to the Cranfills Gap community through community improvement projects as well as scholarships.
Septemberfest kicks off with a parade that travels southeast along 3rd Street before turning left on State Highway 22. Immediately following the parade the focus of the festival turns to the Wade Lee City Park, located at the southeast corner of State Highway 22 and 4th Street, where the cookoff, car show, kids' activities, and vendors all take place.
