Make a Weekend of It

Come early and plan to stay a while. Most XIT events sit in the middle of a full reunion weekend, so the park stays busy all day — bring lawn chairs, find a shaded spot, and settle in for music, neighbors, and genuine Texas hospitality.

This event is one stop in a full weekend. The 90th Annual reunion runs August 6th - 8th, 2026 in Dalhart. Events include the PRCA rodeo, three nights of live music, the parade, and the feeds. Get a day pass or all event weekend pass.
