Wimberley is a haven for artists in the Austin area, located approximately an hour outside of the city's downtown district. The charming Hays County city, which was originally established in 1848 as a trading post settlement, is home to a plethora of art galleries, live music venues, and performing arts institutions, including the outdoor EmilyAnn Theatre and Gardens, which hosts Theater Under the Stars performances throughout the year. Texas' second-largest fully-submerged cave is preserved at Jacob's Well Natural Area, known as a popular swimming hole site during the summer months. Annual special events in the city include a Butterfly Festival, monthly downtown Market Days, and a Christmas Trail of Lights.
