Texas Women Songwriters Festival Comes to Lockhart, Texas
The
Texas Women Songwriters Festival (TWSF) is gearing up for a momentous inaugural event, scheduled to take place from
September 19 to 21, 2025, in the picturesque city of
Lockhart, Texas. This exciting festival promises to be a three-day celebration of music, storytelling, and community, emphasizing the incredible talent and voices of women in the music industry. Over
50 talented female artists are set to grace various iconic venues throughout the charming downtown area of Lockhart, which has recently earned its designation as a
Music Friendly Certified Community.
This festival is more than just a gathering; it’s a movement, as envisioned by its founder,
Mandy Rowden, an esteemed musician and community leader. Rowden believes that TWSF serves as a platform not only for music but also for recognizing and honoring women's voices within the rich tapestry of Texas roots. With events including intimate song swaps, after-parties, and a curated local marketplace, attendees can expect an immersive experience infused with passion and creativity. Headlining performances are to be expected from iconic artists like
Rosie Flores,
Tish Hinojosa,
Sara Hickman,
Kimmie Rhodes, and
Pauline Reese.
“TWSF is about more than music—it's about celebrating women's voices, honoring Texas roots, and creating the kind of creative energy that brings people together,” Rowden stated.
As the festival's excitement builds, opportunities for sponsorship are also on the horizon. Brands eager to align with this vibrant cultural event can now explore customizable sponsorship packages, which include options such as stage naming rights, VIP experiences, and merchandise collaborations. With an anticipated attendance of over
5,000 attendees, including music lovers, creative individuals, and cultural enthusiasts, the TWSF presents an extraordinary opportunity for sponsors aiming to engage with a values-driven audience.
Why Lockhart?
Lockhart is not just famous for being the
Barbecue Capital of Texas. This emerging cultural hub is becoming a recognized venue for music, arts, and community interaction, making it an ideal location for the TWSF. The festival is set against the backdrop of a city that is rapidly gaining traction as one of Texas's premier cultural destinations.
As the festival draws nearer, interested sponsors and partners have the chance to play a significant role in shaping the future of this important movement. Tickets for the festival will go on sale in early July, with artist lineups to be announced in the coming weeks.
