Golden Sweet Potato Festival

Golden Sweet Potato Festival Golden Sweet Potato Festival is held the fourth week in October each year in Golden, Texas, the Sweet Potato Capital of the World!

Join us at this "Best of Small-Town Festivals" to celebrate family, friends, and heritage. What began as a "community event" and fund raiser has since become a huge celebration- one of the largest events in Wood County, Texas! It's a time for family and class reunions, but especially for the farmers, it's a time for celebrating the sweet potato harvest. Today, the festival is an arm extended into

the community which distributes charitable funds throughout the area to five volunteer fire departments, Meals on Wheels, local scholarships, and the Special Kids' Farm and Ranch Day, just to name a few. If you were to visit the festival, you would still see the live sweet potato auction. But you would also see and experience more! Who could have predicted what an important role a variety of sweet potato called the Beauregard would become to a little farming town in Texas!
