About

Homestead Fair is held each year at Homestead Heritage, a Bible-believing church community in Waco, Texas, dedicated to strong family values, purposeful work, and simple living. Open six days a week year-round, our community offers a living window into a time before industrialization—when craftsmanship was a way of life, fields were cultivated by neighbors for neighbors, and faith, family, and friendship formed the heart of daily living.

Homestead Fair is our annual festival of thanksgiving, a celebration of a life where Christian faith is woven into every act of work and worship. Each year, in the days following Thanksgiving, we welcome thousands of guests to share in that life—to hear music that lifts the soul and honors our Savior, to see faith expressed in skillful hands shaping wood, fiber, food, and clay, and to witness a community where the old paths still lead to joy.

For the artisans of Homestead Heritage, the Fair reinforces their calling and helps sustain family-focused livelihoods through craft. For neighbors and visitors, it offers an invitation to gratitude, community, and joy.

Above all, Homestead Fair celebrates that the most fulfilling life is one lived in gratitude to Christ—a life where faith guides work, and work becomes worship.
