Good Things Come in Threes

Chamber, CVB, and GCEDC offer wealth of information

Guests in Gillespie County should make the Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Bureau their first stop.

Located at 302 East Austin Street, just one block north of Main Street, visitors can gather all the information they need to learn about the city and the two other organizations that serve the community — the Gillespie County Economic Development Commission and the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce.

The Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Bureau promotes Fredericksburg and Gillespie County as a leisure destination for group tours, reunions, weddings and meeting sites.

The FCVB staffs and operates the Visitor Information Center, which is open Mondays through Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed only Easter, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day).
