Czhilispiel 41 Announces Music Lineup

Celebrate the 140th anniversary of the town with the funny name at the 41st annual Flatonia Czhilispiel Festival. The event, popular for its “czhili” and barbecue cook-off, also draws quite a crowd for its music lineup, and this year should be no exception.

Festival goers will enjoy a stellar lineup headlined by the Oklahoma Red-Dirt band, Turnpike Troubadours, with Cody Johnson Band as their opening act.
