American Legion Post 38 in Floresville, Texas, marks the 82nd Annual Floresville Peanut Festival as a hometown tradition. The festival runs Thursday, October 8, through Saturday, October 10, 2026, on the Courthouse Square in historic downtown Floresville. Official details live at floresvillepeanutfestival.org. The Hall will be set up as a cooling center during the festival. We will use it to recruit veterans and to sell gun raffle tickets.

The official festival calendar also lists Tuesday, October 6. Goober Games kick off the week that Tuesday afternoon at the Floresville Event Center, with games and activities for the younger crowd. The weekend itself is Thursday through Saturday. The festival's own site lists free grounds admission and free street parking. Saturday, October 10, is the Grand Parade at 10:00 a.m. downtown. Festival questions belong to the festival.

Thursday, October 8, is also the second Thursday of the month. The General Membership Meeting that night from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. is cancelled. We still want members to come visit Post 38 and support the community during the festival.

Post 38's own site already names annual participation in Floresville's Peanut Festival among the traditions of turning out for local festivities. That is the claim this page will make, and no more. The Post marks the weekend as a hometown tradition. Be downtown as neighbors. After the parade, the Hall is still the Hall. Second-Thursday meetings and third-Thursday Tailgates do not move because the square is busy. Questions for the Post: (830) 393-7929 or txlegion38.org.
