A sea of denim and cowboy boots filled San Gabriel Park during the Two Step Inn Festival, which drew about 60,000 country music lovers in April. “We are thrilled Georgetown’s first, large festival in San Gabriel Park went so well,” Georgetown Parks and Recreation Director Kimberly Garrett says. “The production firm was an excellent partner, and several city departments worked together to put on a wildly successful event. The feedback we’ve received so far has been overwhelmingly positive.”
The Friends of Georgetown Parks and Recreation expect to receive over $500,000 from the event, which will fund Parks and Rec capital projects, programs, and scholarships.
To ensure safety at such a large public event, a dedicated team of 63 police officers and two communications operators, along with 26 fire/EMS staff, worked tirelessly to maintain a secure environment throughout the weekend. To bolster their efforts, Ascension Seton Hospital provided additional support with dozens of EMTs and healthcare workers.
During the event, visitors enjoyed honky tonk tunes from headliners like Wynonna Judd, Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Clay Walker, and Tanya Tucker. There were also several familiar faces among the many food and market vendors, including Golden Rule, Jimmy Vega’s Smokehouse, Scoops Old Fashioned Ice Cream, Southern Sweets Kettle Corn, Mesquite Creek Outfitters, Outlaws and Gypsies, and The Daytripper.
