Featured Events in Jefferson in May 2025 (August Updated)

We’ve got something special coming up and would love for you to be part of it! Join us for the premiere of “Moab” on Friday, May 2nd, at 7 PM at the Texas Theatre. This exclusive screening is taking place during Cinco de Mayo weekend—a celebration of our heritage, our resilience, and our ability to dream big, push limits, and make things happen. The Moab 240 is one of the world’s toughest ultra-marathons, known for its brutal desert terrain, high altitude, and extreme weather conditions. In October 2024, Daniel Flores and his team from Dallas, Texas, took on the challenge to cover 240 miles—and we captured it all. This film isn’t just about the race; it’s about determination, grit, and the power of perseverance. We hope it inspires you as much as it inspired us.
