Manorpalooza 2023 ran Friday, May 5, and Saturday, May 6, in downtown Manor. Friends of Manor Parks posted the weekend as music, food, and a carnival presented with the City of Manor. The Kids Out and About listing from the City of Manor put the downtown entrance at E. Parson Street and S. Burnet Street.

Friday ran 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. with carnival rides, an inflatable water slide, live music, food trucks, and a gaming trailer. Saturday ran 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. with those pieces plus vendors, fireworks, and the Major League Eating sausage contest.

Friends of Manor Parks formed in 2019 with the introduction of Timmermann Park. The group's public mission is the Manor park system and the city as a place to live, work, and play. City Hall lists 105 E. Eggleston Street, Manor, Texas 78653.

Who Hired The Camera

City staff and festival organizers book a civic weekend so the next announcement has a film of the grounds as they ran. The brief here was Manorpalooza 2023: the midway, the food line, and the people who walked it.

The camera held a utility cart on the lot, a Manor Palooza fist bump, the dusk midway, a girl on shoulders under the MANOR letters, and yellow contest shirts at the sausage table. Later holds sit on the outdoor stage, a dusk aerial of the carnival and the tracks, night rides, and fireworks over town.

Manor sits in Travis County, about 12 miles northeast of Austin on U.S. 290. The town was laid out in 1872 and named for James Manor. The Manor Chamber of Commerce dates a November 30, 1871 deed that gave the Houston and Texas Central Railway 200 acres for a town and station, and a January 10, 1872 trustee paper that named the town Manor. The city incorporated as a town in March 1913.

The 2020 census counted 13,652 residents. The City of Manor mark on these frames uses the downtown water tower and Est. 1872.

What The Film Delivers

A city festival film has to work for the next May as much as for the week after. Planners use a cut like this for the recap and the archive.
