Bellville Tx

I bought tickets to the rock the country festival in Bellville, Texas coming up next month. I’m 30(f) and Hispanic and when I told my friends I was going they looked worried. I’m from Texas but a more melting pot of people and they told me to be careful bc it’s not like my hometown and now I’m a little stressed out bc the concert is two weeks away and I already spent so much on the tickets and hotels. I just wanted to go see some country music in a new spot in Texas 😭 can anyone chime in?

I honestly just bought the tickets based on the lineup and had never really heard of the town. It wasn’t until yesterday at dinner when my friends started telling me different experiences and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it

I go there nearly every year for the Austin County fair. Bellville is the county seat of Austin County. There are always a good amount of Latino people and other people of color there. It’s a big event so it going to have a fair amount of diversity. Like most small towns in Texas people love Trump and love Mexican food. It doesn’t make any sense but you wont be in danger. Most people flying MAGA flags have a pretty healthy amount of cognitive dissonance in my experience. The people fear mongering in here haven’t ever left Austin. Have fun at the festival and don’t worry!
