The City of Dripping Springs Annual Founders Day Festival is the city's biggest community event. 

Thousands of people will gather in Dripping Springs’ historic downtown district on April 25-27, 2025, for a festive celebration of heritage and pioneer spirit.

The three-day celebration kicks off with the Grand Parade and includes: free music and entertainment, the Mighty Thomas Carnival, food, beer, street dances, cook-off competitions, over 150 arts and crafts booths and business vendors.
