Rockwall, TX (March 12, 2025) – Tate Farms, one of Rockwall County’s oldest working farms presents the 7th annual Texas Pie Fest on April 26. Pie vendors from all over Texas will be set up selling pie slices, whole pies, pie shakes, pie pops, hand pies, savory pies, and more. Vendors like Texas Pie Guy from Friendswood, Pie Crush from Dallas, Miss Ty’s Pies from Northlake, Life of Pie from Abilene, and Emporium Pies from Oak Cliff are just a few of the many Texas-based pie shops on hand at Tate Farms on April 26.
New this year, Texas Pie Fest was awarded a GO TEXAN event grant (MEGA GTE) by the Texas Department of Agriculture. This allows the festival to go big and reach even more pie lovers across the state of Texas.
A fan favorite is back, the pie baking contest will include a chance for patrons to taste the pies and vote for the People’s Choice Award. We will also have live performances by Group Folklorico Dobbs, a local children’s Mexican folk dance group, and Berkner High School Ramblers, a high school western dance troop.
There will be more than just pie. Fletcher’s Original Corny Dogs will be onsite with their famous corn dogs. Easy Slider will be serving up their baby burgers. Other food vendors will have food and drinks for sale all day. There will also be a picnic area for guests to bring their own blankets and chairs for picnic-style fun. Patrons will have rows of shopping from over 50 vintage and handmade retail vendors. Tattoos will be given onsite; pie-themed, of course!
The day ends with a real Pie Fight, sponsored by Emporium Pies, where participants can cover in a rain poncho provided by Tate Farms or go all in. Hundreds of whipped cream pies are provided for festival-goers to throw at each other. The McLendon-Chisholm Fire Department will be onsite to hose down all the pie fighters before they head home.
Tickets to Texas Pie Fest at $10/person. Children 10 years old and under are free. Dogs are welcome. Parking is free. Handicapped parking and handicapped accessible restrooms are available. A baby-changing and nursing area will be available as well.
