Festival Details - "Cross Roads Founder's Day"...

The Town of Cross Roads was officially incorporated on June 11, 1973, with the first election for Mayor and Council Members held shortly after, on July 14, 1973. The newly formed governing body held its first official meeting on July 31, 1973, marking the beginning of local leadership and community development.
To commemorate this milestone, the Town hosted its First Annual Founder’s Day Festival on September 16, 2023, celebrating 50 years of incorporation and honoring the rich rural roots that define Cross Roads. The inaugural event brought the community together in a day filled with history, hometown pride, and celebration.
Building on that success, the Town pledged to make Founder’s Day an annual tradition. The Second Annual Founder’s Day Festival, held on September 21, 2024, welcomed over 1,000 attendees and featured a walk through Cross Roads history, kids’ carnival games, antique tractors, food trucks, live music, and a strong emphasis on the arts. The festival proudly showcased the area’s agricultural heritage and vibrant artisan community, with pottery demonstrations, chainsaw carving, and a variety of handcrafted goods.
This year, we’re excited to continue the tradition with the Third Annual Founder’s Day Festival on September 27, 2025, from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Star Ranch – Denton ISD Ag Facility. The 2025 celebration will continue to spotlight Cross Roads' rural charm and creative spirit, with a focus on artisan vendors, local art, and handmade crafts. It’s a day for the whole family to enjoy, celebrating the past, present, and future of Cross Roads.
Come join us as we honor our heritage and build lasting memories together!
Live music by Western Rewind and Casi Joy.
