Nothing says Texas Hill Country like sipping the locally crafted brews while reveling in Texas/Red Dirt music, and Horseshoe Bay Resort’s 12th annual Beer by the Bay music festival on Aug. 8-9 fits the bill. The 2025 star-studded lineup features Tracy Byrd, Randy Rogers Band, Jason Boland and The Stragglers, and Aaron Tippin.
The first night of the festival kicks off with Kody West followed by Red Dirt mainstay Jason Boland and The Stragglers.
Native Texan Tracy Byrd headlines the festival’s opening night lineup. Byrd, who hails from Southeast Texas, has a hits list that includes fan favorites like “The Keeper of the Stars,” “Watermelon Crawl,” “I’m from the Country,” and so many more.
Saturday night’s lineup is equally impressive with opening act Bart Crow followed by national country music legend Aaron Tippin. Headlining the second night is Randy Rogers Band. The San Marcos-born group hit the Texas music scene 25 years ago and is still going strong. Known for great live performances, the band’s set list could include favorites such as “Kiss Me in the Dark” and “In My Arms Instead.”
In addition to great music, Beer by the Bay is serving a variety of concoctions from Hill Country microbreweries and an award-winning food menu perfectly selected for the event.
Guests making a weekend of it can choose from one- and two-night festival packages, some including stays at the iconic Horseshoe Bay Resort.
Beer by the Bay music festival takes place on the Live Oak Lawn at Horseshoe Bay Resort, 200 Hi Circle North in Horseshoe Bay. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. both nights. Purchase festival packages online.
