ManeGait LIVE! at TUPPS Brewery

We are overflowing with gratitude after an unforgettable day at ManeGait LIVE! – Country Fair & Concert, held this year at TUPPS Brewery in McKinney on Saturday, May 30. With construction for The Beacon Project still underway, our friends at TUPPS welcomed us with open arms, helping us create a vibrant, joyful celebration for the entire community.

Guests enjoyed fair‑style activities, local food trucks, a raffle, and an incredible concert lineup!

We’re so grateful for this wonderful community and can’t wait to bring the fair back home to ManeGait next year after three years away.
