The night crescendos with headliner Darryl Worley, setting the tone and kicking off the celebration in true Texas style.
December 30 – Immersive Experiences
Savor an extravagant brunch of Texas favorites—a Biscuit & Grits Bar with unique toppings and condiments, a house-smoked whole-bacon carving station, and additional hearty entrées. The experience continues to unfold with intimate songwriter sessions, where acclaimed artists share stories and songs that inspire. Between intimate songwriter sessions, enjoy themed breaks and indulgent lunches.
In the evening, be ready for an epicurean journey where every dish is crafted to astonish and delight. Begin at the live salad station, then proceed to the carver’s haven—perfectly paired with duck-fat–roasted potatoes and luscious sauces. Next, indulge in angel-hair pasta twirled in a giant Parmesan wheel, accompanied by truffled chicken roulade. Do not miss the seafood course, featuring smoke-infused oysters and handcrafted jumbo-lump crab cakes with crawfish rémoulade. Finally, watch as the sushi counter’s chef artfully prepares hand-rolled maki and refined bites like blistered shishito peppers. More than a meal, it is an unforgettable experience— an orchestra of flavor and artistry that provides an unmatched level of quality. Experience dinner underscored by an electrifying headlining performance from The Frontmen.
December 31 – A Night to Remember
Savor songwriter sessions and exceptional culinary offerings throughout the day, culminating in a dazzling five-course plated gala dinner. Raise a glass as Neal McCoy takes the stage, then ring in the New Year beneath a breathtaking aerial celebration that lights up the sky. Cap the evening with a fully loaded dessert bar for every sweet tooth.
January 1 – A Fond Farewell
Conclude with an elaborate farewell brunch: a hydration station of fresh juices, House-Smoked Salmon, a Carvery, Tex-Mex delights, and craft offerings—a final moment to reflect, connect, and toast to memories made.
