reviews & comments
“We hired Mike Baxter and Texas Festival & Tourism Consulting to come assess our community’s long-running annual festival, The Bois d’Arc Bash. The following year’s event saw an increase in attendance that more than doubled the prior year. Bringing in Mike was one of the best things we did to revive this declining festival.”

Howdy Wayne Lisenbee, Commerce City Manager
“Mike’s expertise and passion transformed a beloved local tradition into a seamless, buzzworthy festival that resonated with attendees, boosted sales and substantially increased attendance. Because of Mike’s work, the Hallettsville Kolache Fest felt elevated, more professional and visible while still retaining the warm, authentic charm that our community loves.”
