Rendezvous Gala

The Bastrop County Historical Society invites the community to an evening of vintage holiday glamour at its annual Rendezvous Gala on Friday, December 11, from 6 to 10 p.m. Inspired by classic Christmas films like White Christmas, the event combines festive fun with a meaningful mission: preserving and promoting Bastrop County history.

Guests can enjoy seasonal food and drinks, a silent auction, and a special raffle featuring a quarter side of beef from K Bar Beef and a 10-cubic-foot freezer. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the retro Christmas theme with festive attire inspired by Hollywood’s golden age.

Several sponsorship levels are available, offering benefits that may include reserved seating, VIP experiences, raffle tickets, and exclusive seating at the downtown Lighted Christmas Parade. Sponsorships provide an opportunity to support local history while enjoying special perks throughout the holiday weekend.

Held the evening before the Society’s annual Historic Homes Tour, Rendezvous is the perfect start to a festive weekend exploring Bastrop’s historic charm. Proceeds and community support help the Bastrop County Historical Society preserve local collections, share stories, and connect future generations with the county’s heritage.

Tickets and sponsorships are available online at the Bastrop County Historical Society website or in person at the Bastrop County Museum & Visitor Center.
