Events, festivals, goings-on… there’s always something to do in Jefferson! When you stay at our Inn in East Texas, just ask our great innkeepers what is happening in the area.
A Sample of Annual Events in Town
Every January, the Pulpwood Queens book club brings famous authors to town for their Girlfriend Weekend Festival, where participants dress up for the theme of the year, enjoy some activities such as a meal served to your table by an author, book readings by the author, book signing, and a ball. Don’t miss this very creative festival — you’ll have the time of your life.The Annual Pilgrimage in the Spring has been running for over 70 years; during this time, many of the Historic homeowners open their doors for visitors to enjoy. People flock to Jefferson to behold these houses that were built in the 1800s and lovingly restored by the owners over the years. Most owners believe keeping the homes true to their historic roots is preferable to updating completely. Battle for Jefferson Civil War reenactment is the largest in the state of Texas. Come to relive what could have happened here in 1864. During this weekend-long event in May, you’ll find a parade, Grand ball where you’ll be transported to the late 1800s where everyone is attired in period clothing, and skirmishes around the downtown streets.
For a more complete Calendar of Events for the year, we try to keep you updated with a list of activities on our blog too.
