East Texas Yamboree
Downtown Gilmer and Upshur County courthouse square, Gilmer, TX
A sweet potato festival held in Gilmer since 1935, among the oldest continuously running festivals in Texas. Four days of parades, a queen's coronation, a fiddlers' contest, and yam-judging; 2026 is the 89th.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
