Boot scootin' boogie your way to the Thirsty Horse Dance Hall, a no-cover country-western dance club with live music by up-and-coming bands. Enjoy the mix of classic and modern country songs as you dance or nurse your drink at one of the three bars filled with drink specials you are sure to love.

The annual Poteet Festival gives Poteet strawberry growers plenty of locations on the festival grounds to sell their crops.

There are gunslingers, a carnival midway, and live rodeo performances that include Bull Riding, Bronc Riding, Barrel Racing, and Junior Events that offer cash prizes.
