Festival Hill

Home to the Round Top Festival Institute, Festival Hill is a world-class music venue set on 210 acres of manicured gardens and historic buildings. Founded in 1971 by pianist James Dick, it hosts concerts, educational programs, and one of the finest chamber music series in the country.

Each summer, the Texas Festival Orchestra takes up residence with weekly concerts culminating in a patriotic performance around the Fourth of July. From symphony to intimate recitals, Festival Hill brings a cultural richness that complements Round Top's antiques heritage — and gives visitors another reason to come back every season.
