ALPINE
Spirit Rock and Elephant Tusk, NANCY WHITLOCK
Infinitely Texas, LINDY C. SEVERNS
There's always something fun happening in Alpine. With a population of almost 6,000,
Alpine is the largest town in the Big Bend Region of Texas. It's the seat of Brewster County
and home to Sul Ross State University and the Museum of the Big Bend. From May through
July, visitors can cheer for the Alpine Cowboys professional baseball team at historic
Kokernot Field, which Texas Monthly magazine dubbed "The Yankee Stadium of Texas." The
almost-perfect weather offers plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the views from
Alpine Country Club and its charming nine-hole golf course.
There are over 12 art galleries, but you don't have to visit a gallery to view art in Alpine.
From banks to restaurants to motels, local businesses proudly display the work of local
artists. Two member-run artists’ cooperatives, CatchLight Art Gallery and Gallery on the
Square, sit side-by-side on Holland Avenue showcasing the wide variety of regional talent.
Annual events include the Texas Cowboy Poetry Gathering (February), Trappings of Texas
(April), Clayworks Ceramics Show (May), Viva Big Bend Music Festival (July), Big Bend Ranch
Rodeo (August) and Artwalk (November).
Alpine is a unique blending of cultures, talents and energies that create a place where
everyone feels at home. Relax. Recharge. Enjoy.
