Plan Your Fall Day Trip: Round Top, Smithville, and Central Texas Antiques
Fall in Central Texas means cooler weather, lively festivals, and the perfect excuse for a small-town getaway. If you are planning a day trip from Austin, San Antonio, Bastrop, or San Marcos this October, two events should be on your list: the Round Top Antiques Fair and the Smithville Music Festival.
Round Top Antiques Fair: October 4–18, 2025
Twice a year, Round Top transforms into one of the nation’s largest antique markets. From October 4–18, 2025, you will find thousands of vendors spread across venues like the Big Red Barn and Blue Hills. Shoppers come from across the country for fine antiques, vintage décor, and one-of-a-kind treasures. Located only 30 minutes from Round Top, Smithville is a natural side trip and the perfect way to round out your antique adventure.
Smithville Music Festival: October 3–4, 2025
The weekend before Round Top begins, Smithville will host the Smithville Music Festival in its historic downtown. On October 3–4, 2025, this free event will fill Main Street with live music, food trucks, local vendors, and plenty of family-friendly fun. If you time your visit just right, you can enjoy live music one evening and antiques the next morning while exploring Central Texas charm.
Why Smithville Belongs on Your Itinerary
Smithville is a small town with a big personality. It is full of historic buildings, art, and plenty of character. It is also easy to reach: about 20 minutes from Bastrop, 50 minutes from Austin, an hour from San Marcos, and under two hours from San Antonio. Whether you are heading to Round Top or the music festival, adding Smithville makes your trip more than an event, it makes it an experience.
