Ride the Rails To Tanglefoot Music & BBQ Festival

Take the Amtrak right to the festival.

• Skip the traffic and ride in comfort. Temple is a proud stop along the Texas Eagle route. The route connects cities like Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Chicago straight to our downtown station.

• Once you arrive, it’s just a 5 minute walk to the festival gates. No parking, no hassle—just grab your suitcase and let the rhythm (and aroma) lead the way.
