Huntsville, Texas sits halfway between Dallas and Houston and is nestled among the beautiful tall pines of East Texas.

Many local merchants located on the square also open the doors to extend their genuine Texas hospitality!
Bring your Christmas list as this is a great place to begin your holiday shopping or treat yourself and enjoy the day browsing for those unique treasures to take home! Several vendors have been participating in the fair for numerous years, some as many as 20 plus. Vendors come from locations across the state; however several are local crafters who see the festival as an opportunity to showcase their hand crafted items from jewelry, apparel, toys, yard art and more as well as many manufactured items.
And what would a festival be without those tasty temptations that will have your mouth watering and your stomach growling. Just follow your nose to the Food Court and experience real “fair” food flavor as vendors tempt your taste buds. Spectators will satisfy their hunger with everything from fajitas to funnel cakes, barbecue to kettlekorn, fried pickles to fried Twinkies and everything in between. And…You can count on ice cold lemonade or sweet tea to quench your thirst!
The Fair on the Square is an event that the entire family can enjoy. The Kids Korner offers a variety of entertainment options many of which are FREE! Moonwalks, petting zoo, pony rides, balloon creations, bungee run and a giant coloring mural are sprinkled throughout the park to provide hours of fun!
