The annual Crazy Water Festival will take place October 11–12 in Mineral Wells, celebrating the city’s colorful past and future as the Wellness Capital of Texas. Mineral Wells first rose to fame in the late 1800s when its mineral-rich waters were believed to have powerful healing properties. Visitors from across the country came to “take the waters” for conditions ranging from digestive troubles to stress, and the town quickly became a nationally known health resort.
The festival honors this legacy with a lively weekend of music, art, and family fun. Highlights include live concerts, a 5K fun run, classic car show, street art, the Crazy Kids area, local food and craft vendors, and, of course, plenty of opportunities to taste the mineral water that gave the town its name. Beyond entertainment, proceeds benefit local nonprofits, reinforcing the community spirit that has long defined Mineral Wells.
Celebrating both heritage and wellness, the Crazy Water Festival is a one-of-a-kind event that continues to connect people with the healing traditions that made this town famous.
