Texas Lifestyle Festival

The Krewe Of Swingtown's annual weekend festival, taking over Linnett Ranch near Henderson in east Texas for three days. The organiser bills it as an inclusive weekend-long party welcoming all alternative lifestyles.

The property gives the festival two pools, indoor and outdoor hot tubs and an indoor nightly event space, alongside rental rooms, RV sites and tent camping so guests can stay on site. The programme runs to theme nights, demonstrations, vendors, contests and games, with a featured DJ.

Weekend passes were advertised at around $100 for a couple, $40 for a single woman and $150 for a single man when this page was read, with packages bundling a pass and on-site accommodation running from about $125 for a primitive tent site to $400 for a private room. Rooms and sites cover the Friday and Saturday and include two event passes. Prices are an indication only and are confirmed at purchase, and the organiser states there are no refunds or transfers without event insurance.

Single men may attend only with a female date or a sponsoring couple.
