About
Wimberley Square is a quaint little shopping area featuring local shops and vendors, a few restaurants, and more. There are plenty of fun shops to pop into and find something eclectic and interesting. This includes just about anything to wear, gifts to give, or cute crafts and handmade items.
The Square itself is in the heart of the sweet little Texan town called Wimberley, located in the northern Texas Hill Country. It's full of charming character, and host to many varied events throughout the year.
You can stop by one of the venues to enjoy a glass of wine or visit a candy store. Several art galleries and craft shops also make this a fantastic spot for those looking to buy a special gift.
The really great thing about Wimberley Square is that it also hosts tons of entertainment. From live music during summer evenings to themed events for children and holidays. Plus, several organizations use the square for activities throughout the year, so there's fun year-round.
If you enjoy handmade items, be sure to visit Annie James Boutique, with its exceptional clothing and accessories. You'll also enjoy stopping at Gold Dust Boutique, which offers housewares, accessories, jewelry, and much more.
You don't have to shop or do anything to visit Wimberley Square, but at least plan to come in the evening to watch the sunset and listen to live music in the square.
With the trees, greenery, and overall atmosphere, it's quite rejuvenating.
Wimberley Square: Fun Facts & Cool Features
First established in 1900 as a community gathering space, the square offered plenty of places to tie up your horse while exploring the area. With about 140 people, Wimberley offered everything a small town could offer: schools, a church, and a town hall.
Fast-forward to today, and there's still a sense of yesteryear when walking through town. In fact, the oldest building on the square is the John Henry Saunders Homestead, which was built in the 1870s.
Whether you're a history buff or prefer to explore the surrounding area, Wimberley has plenty to enjoy. Spend a day kayaking and hiking along the White River. Or have dinner and ice cream at the Square.
For a great night under the stars, visit Chill's on the Creek. You can get some food or just have a few drinks. And while you relax, enjoy the flow of Cypress Creek right in front of you. It's quite fascinating how beautiful nature can be!

Local Tips
- Parking is a challenge and often is always a frustrating part of visiting this location when there are events happening or during the weekends. I find it best to come during the week, when possible, or if you come while it’s busy, park a bit and walk.
- Wimberley Market Days are busy but very much worth visiting when they occur (that’s usually during the summer months).
- The Chamber of Commerce usually provides information about what’s happening at the Square. I recommend checking it out often, as there’s always something new here.
