Revel and relish in the delightfully entertaining performances found at the Waco Civic Theatre whose roots date back to the 1920s when the work of many enlightened citizens combined to form the historic Waco Little Theatre. Witness the fruits of the collaboration of Baylor's Drama Department and renowned architects to build and showcase the Theatre as it stands today. The theatre produces 6 Main Stage Productions, ranging from classic dramas to new Broadway musicals to hilarious comedies. Aspiring local artists, theatre professionals, educators, and youth all work in partnership to produce children’s theatre workshops, productions and outreach programs.

The Texas Rangers are legendary for their commitment to justice in Texas as well as their unwavering bravery and heroism. That is duly celebrated at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum. This attraction recognizes and memorializes the lives of 30 Texas Rangers who gave their lives in the line of duty and served proudly. Inductees are selected by a distinguished pane of retired Rangers. History and heroism is proudly on display at this museum that offers a look at a unique slice of Texas history.

One of Waco's most popular events is packed with tradition. The Homestead Fair held every November features fine arts and heirloom skills, and always boasts a full itinerary of fun activities like boot making, woodworking, pottery, metal casting and basket making, among many other demonstrations. Live music, great food, and a celebration of the various cultures in the area all make for a fun family festival event. Plus, the fact that it usually is scheduled the weekend after Thanksgiving means you can begin your Christmas shopping and find a plethora of unique gifts in the expansive arts and crafts sale area.
