Vendors to Fill the Square for Pecan Fest

Special by Kyle Kramm, Seguin Main Street and CVB director

(Seguin) — Seguin’s celebration of our famous pecan is right around the corner on October 28. It is a full day of fun, nutty activities. One of the larger activities every year is the Fall Trade Days in Central Park.

There will be over 100 vendors set up in the park and surrounding streets selling all sorts of goods including plants, jewelry, clothes, art, home décor, soaps, and more. Of course, with it being Pecan Fest, there will also be multiple vendors selling pecan related items including pecan brittle, candied pecans, pecan jams, pecan scented candles, pecan roasted coffee, freeze dried pecan ice cream, furniture and furnishings made of pecan wood, pecan earrings, pecan socks, and more.

“Every year we try to grow the number of pecan related booths, and this year we have a good amount with some new vendors,” said Kyle Kramm, Seguin Main Street & CVB Director, “We will still accept more pecan vendors for the show, just contact the Seguin Main Street Program at (830) 401-5000 for more information.”

Other vendors at the Fall Trade Days will include Guadalupe County Master Gardeners with a very large plant sale; Greeting Tree Crafts with a wide selection of wood products including hat racks, cutting boards, and lazy Susans; Zonta Club of Seguin with nut cracker ornaments; Jamielizabeth with handmade jewelry; and many, many more.

One of the more popular booths every year at Pecan Fest is the Downtown Business Alliance’s where you will be able to purchase the 2023 Sip n Stroll mug. Pecan Fest is the first time the mug will go on sale, and the artist will be in the booth to sign the mug for you.

Of course, after all this shopping, you are going to be hungry and that will be covered for you as well. Vendors will be selling fajitas, brisket plates, kettle corn, funnel cakes, burgers, tortas, and more. The downtown restaurants will also be open if you need a place to sit and relax too.

In addition to the Fall Trade Days, other events will be held throughout Seguin. Be sure to check out www.seguingonuts.com for the full schedule of Pecan Fest events.
