Wacky Games & the Washer Tournament: Silly Texas Fun for the Whole Family
There’s no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than diving into some good, old-fashioned, only-in-Texas silliness — and at the Oatmeal Festival, that’s exactly what you’ll get. No pre-registration, no pressure, just walk up and jump in whenever the mood strikes.
Two Ways to Get In on the Fun
🤣 Wacky Games
All ages, all skill levels — bring the kids, bring your competitive streak, and get ready to laugh.
🎯 Washer Tournament
A true Texas staple — grab a partner or fly solo and toss your way to bragging rights.
A Full Day of Festival Fun
Wacky Games and the Washer Tournament are just part of what’s happening on September 26. The 49th Annual Oatmeal Festival runs 8:00 AM–4:00 PM (street dance to follow), with something around every corner of downtown Bertram — the Grande Parade, Pet Parade, a judged Car Show, live art, live music all day, 120+ vendors and food trucks, and a free Kids Zone with the famous Oatmeal Dig. See the full activities lineup for everything happening throughout the day.
🤝 Want to Be Part of Making It Happen?
Wacky Games and the Washer Tournament — like every activity on festival day — run on volunteers. Give a couple of hours and be right in the middle of the fun instead of watching from the sidelines. Students in grades 9–12 can even earn scholarship hours while they help out.
