Located in the heart of Texas, Abilene is a city with a core purpose: "work[ing] together to build and maintain a community of the highest quality for the present and future generations."
While the city’s economy previously relied on agriculture and livestock, today the city's economy has its base in industries like education, government, health care, manufacturing, and petroleum. Most notably, Dyess Air Force Base is located less than 10 miles to the west of the city's downtown area.
Families may enjoy a visit to places like the Abilene Zoo, Frontier Texas!, or the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature. Other noteworthy attractions include the restored Paramount Theatre, the Grace Museum, the Center for Contemporary Arts, the Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra, or one of the nearly 30 public parks throughout the city. The city also hosts the West Texas Fair and Rodeo each September. This event includes amusements and exhibits that celebrate the city's rich history and modern life in Texas. The Western Heritage Classic each May also celebrates historic traditions and ranch rodeo.
Abilene supports its thriving local community with beloved traditions. It hosts Artwalk each month, which is an event that allows residents to attend local museums for free, enjoy local music, and purchase crafts and art from local artisans. Another important tradition is the annual Crosstown Showdown game between the city's two high school football teams. This rivalry game brings the city together each fall as everyone gets the chance to cheer on their hometown heroes.
