Overview
The Fort Griffin fandangle is historical, musical production presented by the people of Albany, Texas. Beneath the summer stars of the Texas sky, history comes alive the last two weekends of June with singing, dancing, pantomime and pageantry. Over 250 Albany performers authentically recreate Texas of the 1800’s in a beautiful acre size outdoor amphitheater, lovingly named our Prairie Theater.
For over 80 years, we have told the story of the founding of our area, complete with the Plains Indians, soldiers, and settlers. Relive the heroism and hardships, the humor and humility of the early settlers. Watch as covered wagons, horses and riders, and a majestic herd of longhorn tell the tales of the cowboy. See the founding of a fort on a hill and the town that sprang to life beneath it. Join in the merriment of the dancing, singing, and storytelling and even be introduced to the “biggest gol durn rattlesnake ever seen by mortal eyeball.” Come be a part of history at the Fort Griffin Fandangle, Albany, Texas.
