Elgin, Texas Travel Guide
This small town located east of Austin on US 290 enjoys star status because of Elgin sausage, a spicy concoction that's sold throughout this part of the state. And for those of you a little uncertain about the pronunciation, it's el-gin, not el-jin. [pronunciation audio] Thanks to its close proximity to Austin, Elgin
has also had a role in many Hollywood films including Billy Bob
Thornton's Friday Night Lights, as well as Varsity Blues, The Alamo (the 2003 version), Great Waldo Pepper, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Attractions Historic Tour. Pick up a copy of the free historic tour brochure at the Chamber of Commerce office at 15 North Main Street or at Only the Best at 22 North Main. Where to Eat Festivals & Special Events October: Hogeye Festival, Elgin. Called “a time for warm hearts and hot guts,” this family-friendly event celebrates the sausage heritage of Elgin with events like the Hogalicious Dessert Contest, a hog calling contest, the crowning of King Hog and Queen Sowpreme, and a pork barbecue contest.
