Organized by the Lions Club of Buda (just south of Austin and pronounced with a long U sound - think beauty, not Buddha), this popular spring festival first began in 1998.

Although Buda claims the trademarked status of "Wiener Dog Capital of Texas," a significant number of the dogs are out of towners (and out of staters).

Everyone has a great time. In addition to the races, there are also awards for best dressed weiner dog as well as a pet parade.

The Buda Country Fair portion of the annual event includes both barbecue cook-offs and dessert bake-offs, not to mention ample arts and crafts booths along with ample food vendors.
