Staged at Tomball’s historic downtown Railroad Depot Museum on South Elm at Market Street, Rails & Tails has become one of the City’s largest and most well attended events drawing thousands of music and crawfish lovers from across southeast Texas. 

Performing is Kelly McGuire with his laid back island tunes of the Texas coast, Belize and beyond. The Gary Michael Dahl Band will fill the Depot Plaza with smooth jazz, cool R&B and more beginning at 2 p.m. followed by Texas County Music Hall of Famers, The Posse. Closing out the festival is Tex-Mex Honky Tonk favorites, The Tejas  Brothers from Fort Worth.

Guests can chow down on spicy boiled crawfish and other Cajun treats along with a variety of festival foods and drinks, then shop vendors selling all sorts of merchandise. There’s even a “Cajun Kids Zone” with bouncy fun for the little ones.
