Marshall Fire Ant Festival
Peter Whetstone Square, downtown, Marshall, TX
Marshall built a festival around the fire ants that colonized East Texas decades ago, filling the downtown square each October with a costumed ant parade, live music and a 5K race. The Greater Marshall Chamber of Commerce has run it since the 1980s, and the 2026 edition was the 44th. A Tour de Fireant bike ride and a scholarship competition round out the weekend.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
