I for Ingram

 

I have already mentioned Ingram and its annual Celtic Festival in one of my previous posts. Their stone circle (Stonehenge II), a copy of the one in England, was constructed in 2011.

It is situated in a pretty area, with the Guadalupe River and an open-air theater nearby. The Visual Art Center and a souvenir store are there as well.

Next year, on April 8, a total solar eclipse will be celebrated at Stonehenge II. The eclipse will be in the path of the stone circle, so you can observe the occurrence at the site. Be sure to bring special protective-type glasses (sunglasses are NO good for that) to keep your eyes safe.

The next Celtic Festival is going to be there on April 29. It used to be an all-weekend-long event. After the covid-time break, the festival was turned into a one-day affair. We preferred the previous version, though. You could see more during the three days and enjoy it more than just in one day. You are simply not able to watch everything at the same time.

On September 23/24, 2023, Texas State Arts and Crafts Fair takes place there.

When you come to visit the site, do not miss the copies of the Easter Island heads. You can find them at the parking lot, within walking distance from Stonehenge II.
