Winnsboro has always been known for its charm, but starting this year, it will become the tastiest town in East Texas. 🍴✨ The Taste of Winnsboro is here, and this first year promises to be big, bold, and flavorful!
On Saturday, October 4, 2025, downtown Winnsboro will come alive under the twinkling lights of The Bowery for a one-day festival that blends food, fun, and Texas hospitality.
What to Expect from The Taste of Winnsboro
The Taste of Winnsboro is a true feast for the senses. Guests will enjoy tastings from over 10 local restaurants and businesses, each bringing their best bites to the table. From savory to sweet, it’s the perfect chance to sample everything our small town has to offer.
And it’s not just about the food. The lineup of live music will keep the energy high all evening, featuring performances from:
Chris Cunningham
Dakota Ritter
Sarah Schafer
The Cole Dagan Band
Add in entertainment like a cornhole competition and a 360° photo booth, and you’ve got the recipe for a night to remember.

More Than a Festival
Taste of Winnsboro is more than an event; it’s an experience that highlights community pride and small-town hospitality. A portion of ticket sales benefits the East Texas Food Bank and funds a scholarship for a local student pursuing a career in culinary arts or hospitality. By attending, you’re not just enjoying incredible food—you’re giving back to the community.
Plan Your Stay at Oaklea
If you’re planning to attend, why not make a weekend of it? Oaklea Mansion is just steps away from the festival, offering the perfect place to relax after an evening of tastings and music. Book your stay early and enjoy a night of history, comfort, and Southern charm right in the heart of Winnsboro.
