Texas International Pop Festival
This year’s Texas International Pop Festival, which is called “Texas Pop Turns 50,” marks the 50th anniversary of this event. Back in 1969 — just two weeks after Woodstock — more than 100,000 music fans flocked to Lewisville for one of the largest music festivals ever held in Texas. This festival, which lasted for three days, featured greats like Led Zeppelin, Santana, and Janis Joplin.
This year’s festivities will take place on August 31 and September 1 at Lake Park Golf Course, and boast an impressive lineup that includes legends like ZZ Top, Chicago, and Joe Cocker, as well as up-and-coming musicians. Guests can also pop around the “Texas International Pop Festival: 50 Years Later” exhibit, which will provide photos, archival video footage, and artifacts in remembrance of the 1969 event.
