You haven't lived until you've tasted the award-winning, world-famous Texas Pride Barbecue, topped off with the memorably delicious peach cobbler, dubbed by critics as "paradise on a plate." This one-of-a-kind restaurant also serves a slice of Texas, from country dances, cowboys on horseback, weddings, and motorcycle rallies to the rich array of memorabilia from filling stations, Texas beers, and Texas musicians.

Paradise Canyon on the Medina River offers an abundant array of fishing, boating, camping, and a rustic lodge in a scenic canyon featuring a close walk with nature teeming with ample wildlife. This amazing canyon offers a little place of heaven where some have referred to it as "God's Swimmin' Hole." Lean back in your floating inner tube, close your eyes against the blue sky as the brilliant sun warms your face, and let your back and legs be refreshed in the cool revitalizing waters.

Mark your calendar for the second weekend in October to attend the annual Floresville Peanut Festival, where you are guaranteed an exciting weekend filled with fun for the whole family. Watch the parade, play games, visit the beer garden, listen to live music, and enjoy good food.
