Marshall FireAnt Festival
Downtown Marshall, Historic Harrison County Courthouse, Marshall, TX
Marshall throws a festival honoring the fire ant, the East Texas pest the town has embraced as a mascot, with a parade, a cook-off, and a Miss Fire Ant pageant around the historic Harrison County Courthouse. It has run since the early 1980s on the second Saturday of October. The festival grew out of local frustration with the invasive ant turned into civic self-deprecation.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
