LIFE’S A BIG PICNIC IN WAXAHACHIE
One of the highlights of my job
at the Waxahachie Convention
& Visitors Bureau is planning
interesting experiences for our
residents and visitors utilizing
ALL of Waxahachie as an event
space. When looking at the long
list of upcoming events that is on
the calendar through the end of
the year, most of them take place
in our great outdoors.
Want to plan a picnic, gathering,
or attend an outdoor event?
You really get that extra dose of
“Waxahachie charm” when you
enjoy our beautiful downtown
Waxahachie as your backdrop
or the picturesque setting of
one of our gorgeous parks. It’s
that unique specialness that has
attracted visitors for nearly 175
years and keeps them coming back
for more.

Getzendaner Park With 20 parks to choose from throughout the city, the one most preferred by classic car and truck enthusiasts is Getzendaner Park. Located along the banks of Waxahachie Creek, this 33-acre park provides areas for picnicking, exercising and playing. The park also serves as an entrance to our trail system. The numerous shade trees and historic Chautauqua Auditorium make this a must-see place for residents and visitors alike. This park offers three playgrounds, two restrooms and three pavilions. Car shows in Getzendaner Park hosted by Midlothian Classic Wheels include:

Last but not least, Waxahachie becomes C10ville USA on September 21 with C10s in the Park, one of the largest Chevrolet C10 truck shows in the United States, taking place at Getzendaner Park. Later that evening, the event continues with a Party on the Square in downtown Waxahachie with select trucks on display and a FREE concert with Detroit Steel playing your favorites from the 80s.
Downtown Waxahachie If concerts and car shows aren’t your scene, let’s not forget the great open-air shopping experience that can be found in downtown Waxahachie, plus great patio dining at one of our 100+ restaurants in uptown and downtown Waxahachie.
