Late‑Summer Weekends at The Ridge: Your Guide to Our Upcoming Events

Late summer in the Hill Country has a way of slowing you down just enough to notice the good things…the golden evenings, the laughter drifting across the lawn, the smell of something delicious coming off the grill, the music that always seems to find you right when you need it. And this year, that feeling carries a little extra meaning.

Over the past few weeks, Kerrville and surrounding communities have weathered historic flooding, yet again. Neighbors once again helping neighbors, local businesses stepping up, and the Hill Country once again showing the strength that makes this place feel like home. At The Ridge, we’ve taken time to pause, support, and adjust — including postponing our 15‑Year Anniversary Celebration so we can honor that milestone at a more fitting moment.

But even in the midst of recovery, community continues. Gathering continues. And through the end of summer, The Ridge offers gentle, joyful ways to reconnect, recharge, and enjoy the season together.

Weekly Traditions That Bring Us Back Together

Some traditions are worth repeating, especially when life feels a little unsettled. The Ridge leans into the ones people love most. It’s the comforting, familiar rhythms that make weekends feel like weekends.

  • Steak Night — A Hill Country classic. Tender cuts, sizzling grills, and the kind of meal that turns a Wednesday into a celebration.
  • Catfish Friday — Crispy, Southern, and always a crowd favorite on Fridays.
  • Live Music — Every weekend brings new sounds to the lawn and patio. Acoustic sets, local artists, and easy listening under the night lights.

These weekly anchors create the heartbeat of late summer; familiar, flavorful, and full of community.

We Are Kid‑Friendly Fun All Week Long

If you have little ones, The Ridge becomes a playground of imagination this time of year.

  • Toddler Time brings themed mornings that spark curiosity. Everything from dinosaurs, camping adventures, to icy sensory play, and more.
  • Woodrow Wednesdays turn mid‑week into a cultural adventure, exploring countries through stories, crafts, and hands‑on activities. Our last one for the summer is July 29th! This FREE (free for kids 12 and under) family-friendly event is the perfect way to keep kids active, make new friends, and explore different cultures through fun crafts and interactive activities.

These moments aren’t just events; they’re memories in the making.

Wellness Under the Hill Country Sky

Late summer evenings are made for slowing down, stretching out, and breathing deep. Everyone, young and old, can take advantage of this fun event.

  • Full Moon Yoga invites you to unwind beneath the glow of the moon, surrounded by the gardens and the quiet hum of nature. It’s peaceful, grounding, and uniquely Ridge.

Bring the Pups Along

Sundays get a little extra wag with our locally famous Bark & Brunch. It’s a chance to enjoy good food, sunshine, and dog‑friendly fun. It’s relaxed, social, and perfect for pet parents who love to make weekends an outing for the whole family.

A Milestone We’ll Celebrate Soon

Our 15‑Year Anniversary Celebration has been postponed so our community can focus on recovery and rebuilding. We will honor this milestone at a time that feels right. The Ridge has always been about people first, and we’re looking forward to celebrating together soon with our community, with gratitude and joy.
