BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
The city of Temple is gearing up for its first-ever Tanglefoot Festival, and expectations are high.
Festival Director Steve Clayton says a strong partnership between the festival organizers and the city has been crucial in bringing top-tier music acts, diverse food vendors, and family-friendly attractions together.
“They have a great mindset and vision of what they're looking to do," Clayton said. "They're great to work with and they want to build something special… We have plans of growth from here.”
Clayton shared that long-term goals include expanding the event footprint to connect the festival lawn with the historic rail depot, potentially adding four to five more stages. That expansion could triple the festival’s capacity in future years.
Organizers expect thousands of attendees this weekend.
