📍 Willow Point Central and Killeen

Willow Point Central hosts the festival in Killeen, a Central Texas city in Bell County with an estimated population of more than 160,000 residents. Killeen developed from a railroad town established in the 1880s and later became closely connected with the growth of the military community in the region.

The city is well positioned for visitors traveling by road across Central Texas. Killeen can be reached via major regional routes connecting it with Temple, Waco, Austin, Dallas–Fort Worth, and San Antonio. Visitors arriving by train can use the Killeen Amtrak stop at East Avenue C or nearby regional rail connections, then continue locally by road.
