Fredericksburg is an historic and quintessential German community in the enchanting Hill Country area of Texas, a little over an hour away from two of America’s largest and most dynamic cities, San Antonio and Austin. This town is a perfect art and culture destination; it celebrates art as much as those who visit.
 
Nestled in downtown Fredericksburg on Main Street is Marktplatz, a central city park of large open-air pavilions, children’s play area, public restrooms, and the historic Vereins Kirche. Sandwiched between two upscale shopping areas, this is Frederickburg’s most popular locale for major events. Here is the home of the Texas Mesquite & Fine Art Spectacular.

The Texas Mesquite & Fine Art Spectacular is the premier small town art fair in Texas where patrons discover unique treasures made by hand. The event is low-key, casual, and family and pet friendly. Celebrating 31 years of success, the Spectacular has grown to celebrate not only its traditional focus on mesquite wood art and craft, but also a wide variety of other visual fine art and fine craft in mediums such as other woods, leather, textiles, metal, glass, gourds, painting, etc.
