The Bob Wills Foundation was established in 1971 to preserve and share the music and life of Bob Wills as a unique and central figure in American history and as a beloved son of Turkey, Texas.
The foundation promptly began planning the first Bob Wills Day event which was held in 1971. The celebration has been held on the last Saturday of April every year since.*
