McDade Watermelon Festival

Join us for a fun-filled Care-A-Van event at McDade Fair Grounds, where Bastrop County Cares brings exciting activities, live entertainment, and community resources to support and inspire kids of all ages. Enjoy inflatable games, thrilling water slides, creative painting projects, and much more while connecting with local services dedicated to children's health and well-being. Please note, certain events are weather-dependent, and the schedule may change if necessary. We look forward to seeing you there for a day of fun and community! New this September, we are adding a Community Baby Shower to celebrate and support expecting and new parents with valuable resources, helpful information, and family-centered activities.
