Chilifest Music Festival - Somerville, Texas

Wow, what a time! I had a really good time and made lots of memories. It was rough at first because I was new and didn't know what to expect.

I'm 49 and this was a young college event. If you're older like me, listen up...

YOU MUST BRING A LAWN CHAIR! I cannot stress enough the importance of bringing a lawn chair!

This place has no chairs unless you're going as a VIP. If not, expect to be sitting in the dirt!

I hope this is helpful!

Zach Bryan and the other artists themselves were amazing, but the parking was an absolute disaster, out of all the people my friend and I were literally the last 2 to leave because the roads were blocked from 10 until the parking lot was completely cleared (our ride got to that ride right at 10 not knowing it was going to be closed since we are not from here) the concert ended at about 10:50 at the latest and we didn’t leave till close to 2, and the road still wasn’t open but we found a work around, even though the lot was cleared. We had no service on the grounds which I understand is not their fault but it didn’t help the situation. Overall the parking was poorly planned, non of the workers had walkies to communicate with each other so it was chaos trying to empty each lot and sitting there for 3 hours waiting was ridiculous. The concert was great but being the last one in the there out of 30,000 people was not great.

Chilifest is the best part of my year! The musicians are always outstanding and go across all types of country music. As well as great music, Chilifest provides an amazing environment for all ages to have an fun time with friends and to meet new people.

It was fun, however some signage would've been nice. It said online you could bring coolers with water on Saturday but when walking about a 1/4 mile to the entrance, we were told no coolers. Then when leaving there was no direction to where they wanted us to walk, to get to our vehicle. Other thank that it was good.

Honestly the worst experience of my life. I paid for Chilifest village tickets for $150 to have only 5 free drinks and a meal. People there were so rude and wouldn't even let you into the tent if it wasn't the specified time for free drinks. They also wouldn't let you leave or enter the tent with the beers that they supplied you. Never buy these tickets it is the biggest waste of money.

Chilliest is a great family friendly event that caters to people of all ages. Ive attended the festival the last 3 years and I look forward to going back every year. My kids & wife have made going to chilliest a yearly family tradition, we fill up our RV & head to Snook & spend 2 days listening a broad amount of the best country artist, eating the most tasteful chili you'll ever come across, & making unforgettable memories. 10/10 Recommended to anyone who enjoys having a good time.

It never seems to disappoint. If you've never been come prepared to drink you weight in beer and to be around folks who are doing the same. The stage makes for a fairly intimate experience with the artists in an environment that is nothing short of appropriate for the music and the crowd to enjoy some good ol' country music and southern rock. I think it's a quintessentially Texas experience.

It's a great charity event, but I cannot stand the trash (large and small) that the kids leave behind. Shameful. There's no need for people to spew beer all over everyone and for sure NO call for them to throw full cans in the air! Good music and thousands given to charity, but the trash and behaviors of attendees should be better monitored. Teams should be fined if displays and couches and canopies are left behind.
