LET NEW BRAUNFELS, TEXAS, BE THE BACKDROP FOR YOUR NEXT GRAND ADVENTURE!
The pristine valley where the sparkling Comal River mingles with the steady waters of the Guadalupe has served as an oasis and rendezvous point for thousands of years. The city itself, founded by a German prince, has stood sentinel here since 1845. New Braunfels is a beacon for thrill-seekers, artists, families, and snowbirds alike.
As we draw closer to March 2020, the air crackles with excitement. Known far and wide for their love of a good party, the people of New Braunfels are set to celebrate the 175th anniversary of their fair city’s founding.
Festivities for the quarto septennial include fireworks, a trail ride, a parade, and a gala to honor the industrious founders of this jewel of the Texas Hill Country. City officials will be holding a special ceremony to open a time capsule that was laid 50 years ago to mark the 125th anniversary.
Sharing in this momentous milestone is the historic First Protestant Church of New Braunfels, which has served and grown alongside the people of this community since day one.
