Festival organizers asking for 25,000 attendance each day

The Guadalupe County Commissioners Court will hold a special meeting at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 24 to consider a permit for Float Fest 2019.

The annual tubing-and-music festival is seeking an outdoor music festival permit to hold the event Friday, July 19 through Sunday, July 21 at Cool River Ranch, located at 601 Dupuy Ranch Road in Guadalupe County, along the banks of the San Marcos River.

The permit is seeking 25,000 attendees per day. That’s 5,000 more per day that commissioners, who initially denied a 2018 permit, allowed after promotor Marcus Federman threatened to sue the county over its denial. He had originally requested that 30,000 people per day be allowed to attend the 2018 festival.
