Foodies will delight in the myriad of choices, from established culinary institutions to local up-and-coming chefs delivering everything from fine dining to comfort food; historians will appreciate the Victorian era facades and heritage preserved in the architecture around town; and the outdoorsman can experience the expansive rolling terrain of the Texas Hill Country, dive into the natural swimming lagoon at the Blue Hole, and explore one of the best preserved caving systems in Texas at Inner Space Cavern.
Sports enthusiasts can see all of their favorites and more; football (University of Texas Longhorns, Southwestern University Pirates and Friday night high school), soccer (Austin FC), baseball (Round Rock Express), and hockey (Texas Stars) are just a few of the options available locally. Additionally, Georgetown is host to many community-centric live music events like the Red Poppy Festival, the Christmas Stroll, and recently hosted the inaugural country music festival the Two Step Inn. Georgetown is a popular destination for families looking for a welcoming, small town feel with access to just about every amenity, activity, and resource one could desire. Although Georgetown is located only 30 miles from Austin, the state capital, it has retained its small town charm.
Georgetown Mayor Josh Schroeder was recently quoted saying, “People are moving here for the same reasons that brought many of us to Georgetown — wonderful and safe neighborhoods, fantastic parks and events, and welcoming people.”
