MEET THE CITY OF LLANO

Llano’s Western heritage nurtures a friendly community of ranchers, artists, tourists

The old world meets the new in Llano, where artists, ranchers, hunters, and tourists co-mingle in a friendly, country atmosphere. Centered around the courthouse square, the town bustles with restaurants, retail shops, and the historic LanTex Theater. Galleries display local artists’ works, both modern and historic with an emphasis on the Old West ranchers and cowhands that once drove the area’s cattle and economy. Antique shops, an old-fashioned pharmacy, a haunted jail, and the area’s world-famous Cooper’s Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que are just a few of the attractions that draw tourists. Known as the “Deer Capital of Texas,” Llano supports the highest density of white-tailed deer in the nation and is a favorite of hunters from all over.

Year-round, tourists come for fishing, birding, and to hunt for rare gems and rocks. Bald eagles can be spotted as they migrate south during the winter, some making their winter homes nearby. Fishing along the Llano River nets anglers white bass, striped bass, crappie, and rainbow trout, which are stocked each winter.

A series of annual events highlights the mix of cultures and history that live side-by-side in the city, which marked its 162nd birthday in 2018.

Artists celebrate their craft and cowboy history with the annual Western Trappings on the Llano exhibit and sale.
A large Chuck Wagon Cook-Off every October also harkens to the days on the cattle trail.
Hunters are celebrated each year at the Llano Crawfish Open, which began as a thank-you from hunters from Beaumont.
The Llano Earth Art Fest features the rock-stacking world championship, which draws thousands to the Llano River to create earth art, stack rocks, play in the water, or just enjoy arts, crafts, and music.

While artists and historians keep the past alive in this Old West town, the city continues to grow and thrive in the modern world. The Llano Community Guide includes all the information you need to live in or visit this Highland Lakes community.
