When and Where is Stars of Texas?
Stars of Texas runs October 3–5 at the Historic Texas Motorplex in Ennis, TX. We’re just 40 minutes south of Dallas and about an hour from Fort Worth, making it an easy drive for a Texas-sized weekend.
What tickets are available?
Single-day tickets are available Friday through Sunday in GA and GA Plus, with all tickets giving access to music, lanterns, and bull riding. Weekend passes include a Super VIP option with stage-front seating, private bar and restrooms, and VIP parking.
Which days have lantern releases?
Lantern launches happen Saturday and Sunday only. Saturday’s release will take place during Chris Young’s headlining set, while Sunday’s launch will happen after dark—listen for instructions from the stage.
What happens to the lanterns?
Every lantern is cleaned up—every single one. Our Lantern Chaser crew, in partnership with Night Lights Event, works through the night to make sure the skies glow but the grounds stay spotless.
What is there to do?
It’s the best of Texas all in one weekend. The Stars of Texas Music Festival kicks off the Stampede of Speed—the Fastest 10 Days in Texas, with three nights of live country, lantern releases, BBQ, racing, bull riding, and a 40th season celebration bigger than ever.
Why should I buy tickets now?
Saturday is almost sold out and Super VIP weekend passes are nearly gone. Buying online today also saves you money compared to gate pricing—so lock in your spot before prices go up and tickets disappear.
Can I camp at the festival?
Yes—camp out in the Back 40 for the full Texas experience. For just $40, you can stay on-site all weekend and be steps away from music, lanterns, bull riding, and racing.
Do I have to pay extra for parking?
No extra surprises—all parking and fees are included in the ticket price. Buy online now at Last Call pricing and save compared to gate pricing.
