News for the upcoming year!
Happy December!
Hoping your Тhanksgiving was full of gratitude and cheer, and, of course, delicious food! We are grateful for our community who enjoy our Big Band music and the fun we have sharing it with you.
As 2026 approaches, we want to update you on the Wimberley Valley Big Band’s doings in the new year so you can plan ahead.
What better to do in the cold of January but come to a dance! As part of our Wimberley community, we are collaborating with our own Wimberley Community Civic Club in presenting a Big Band Concert/Dance on January 17th from 7-9 at the Wimberley Community Center. Guests may bring their own refreshments, both food and drink, and while away a cold evening listening to classic Big Band, Swing, light jazz and a little light rock music. If you enjoy a little dancing with your “honey,” bring your dancing shoes and get ready to kick up your heels and get out of the January doldrums. If you like to just sit back, listen, and chill, there’s a spot for you.
Mark your calendars, and buy tickets at https://www.wimberleyccc.org/events.
All proceeds go to support local student scholarships and local organizations in our area through the Wimberley Civic Club’s wonderful outreach.
Then… in February, it’s Mardi Gras! The Big Band returns to the VFW Hall on Jacob’s Well Road for a fun-filled Wimberley Fat Tuesday celebration on Saturday, February 7 from 7-9 pm.
This free dance/concert will feature all the great music and entertainment you’ve come to expect from the Wimberley Valley Big Band, including a Mardi Gras promenade and even our golden armadillo Armie.
Come in your costumes or your plain clothes and celebrate with us!
Other spring events will include some of our favorite venues: Wimberley Valley Winery, Willow Lake Watering Hole, and Kissing Tree. We will be back in touch with updates in 2026.
Stay tuned and stay happy!
