The 2026 Bryan TX Songwriter Festival takes over Historic Downtown Bryan October 9–10 with performances on the Free Main Stage and at iconic downtown venues, celebrating the art of songwriting.

A VIP Experience Add-On wristband unlocks intimate songwriter rounds, priority seating at participating venues, behind-the-song stories, and exclusive artist experiences. Family-friendly and rain or shine, with free public parking throughout downtown. No coolers or outside alcohol. Presented by Destination Bryan, the Bryan Business Council, and the City of Bryan, benefiting the Real Life Real Music Foundation.
