Elgin Music Festival strikes a chord in second year

The sound of Bastrop County’s growing creative community echoed through the city last weekend as the second annual Elgin Music Festival brought big crowds, a range of musical styles and a celebration of local art. 

Organized by the Elgin Arts Association, the four-day event showcased area talent across multiple Veterans Memorial Park stages and local venues—all while raising funds in support of arts education and regional acts.

Festival Director of Operations Quinn Walton credited the collaborative spirit of the Elgin community for the event’s success.
