Palomino Fest kicked off its opening night tonight with free admission and rides for only $1.00.

Long lines were observed at the various rides including the Farris Wheel near the entrance to the event as well as other rides for children and more rides for thrill seekers situated near the back of the midway.

Most if not all of the carnival food favorites were being sold at various kiosks. Various carnival games were also seen on the midway enticing Palomino Fest goers to topple milk bottles, pop-a-balloon or shoot out a red star on a piece of paper for a stuffed animal or other prize.

The concert stage was empty tonight but several musical groups are scheduled to perform over the next few days.

Palomino Fest will continue through Sunday, September 1st, 2024

About Palomino Fest

A gravity defying ride on the midway.

The following information about Palomino Fest and Pro Rodeo is from the event’s official website:

Palomino Fest & Pro Rodeo Labor Day Weekend Celebration is devoted to welcoming thousands from across the state to an event full of diverse culture and musical heritage of Southwest Texas.

Palomino Fest is a 3-day plus extravaganza staged by the non-profit Uvalde Festival and Events Association that began in 1996 as a dream by a local group of musicians who, as young brothers from a small town dared to pursue their own personal dream. Hard work and determination led Los Palominos to a path of success.
Annually, over 20,000 guests culminate at the Uvalde County Fairplex and experience memories that will last a lifetime.

As a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, Palomino Fest has donated over $310,000 to Southwest Texas Junior College for student scholarships across SWTJC’s 11-County service area….and assists community organizations in raising money for their own causes.
