{Oddfest in Waxahachie // A Quirky October Tradition}

Every small town has its traditions, the kind of events that bring the community together in ways only locals can understand. For Waxahachie, one of those traditions is Oddfest, a celebration that perfectly captures the quirky, creative, and small-town-friendly spirit of our community.

What

Oddfest in Waxahachie is a one-of-a-kind art and music festival that celebrates the beautifully unique. Held at Singleton Plaza, it brings together artists and musicians from across Texas who lean into the “odd” ...whether that’s handcrafted artwork, eclectic music, or creative expressions you wouldn’t see otherwise.  Alongside local art vendors, you can stroll through food trucks, enjoy craft beer, listen to live music, and soak up that festival energy right in downtown Waxahachie. Proceeds from Oddfest support the building fund of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge No. 80, a group that has served this community for over a century.

The Oddest of the Odd

What sets Oddfest apart is its celebration of all things offbeat and unusual. From handcrafted oddities to eclectic art pieces, you never know what treasures you’ll find as you browse the vendor booths. Local makers and artists showcase everything from vintage-style jewelry to spooky-season décor...perfect timing for October.

And if you’re a thrifter or treasure hunter like me, Oddfest feels like a mini adventure in itself. Every booth has a story, and every maker has a passion you can see in their work.

Oddfest is about more than quirky booths and good food, it’s about community. It’s about bumping into familiar faces, chatting with shop owners you’ve known for years, and seeing how Waxahachie always finds ways to blend tradition with creativity.

October already feels like one big celebration in Texas with football, festivals, and pumpkin patches, but Oddfest is one of those unique gatherings that makes Waxahachie, well… Waxahachie.

If you’re ever in town when Oddfest rolls around, don’t miss it. Come ready to shop, snack, laugh, and soak in the sights and sounds of small-town Texas at its quirkiest and best.
