The trail has a story to tell—and this October, you’re invited to experience it.

Join us at Heritage Village on Saturday, October 10 for a special day celebrating El Camino Real de los Tejas, the historic trail that runs through our very own grounds.

During El Camino Real Day, history comes alive with living historians, guided trail walks, historical displays, demonstrations, family activities, food, and more. Then, as evening settles beneath the oaks, the celebration continues with Dinner Under the Oaks: An Evening Along El Camino Real.

Beginning with Cocktail Hour at 5:30 PM, enjoy a memorable evening featuring a Spanish Colonial-inspired dinner, live music, stories of the people and cultures of El Camino Real, historical treasures, our Heritage Attire Contest, silent auction, and dancing beneath the Texas sky.

Come for the history. Stay for the celebration. And most importantly, know that your participation helps preserve Heritage Village and the stories entrusted to us for future generations.

Early Bird tickets are available now, reserve your seat and join us beneath the oaks!

Please note when purchasing tickets: Givebutter, our online registration platform, will automatically suggest an optional tip during checkout. This tip goes directly to Givebutter—not to Heritage Society—and helps them provide their platform to nonprofits like ours at no cost. You are welcome to adjust the tip to any amount you choose, including $0. Your ticket purchase and donations designated for Heritage Society come directly to Heritage Village.

Partner recognition for the Partner Packages extends throughout El Camino Real Day and Dinner Under the Oaks, reaching an estimated 500–1,000 daytime visitors, 150–175 evening guests, and audiences year-round through Heritage Village's website and social media.
