Pilot Point, TX –  Pilot Point’s Main Street Program today announced that its 10th Annual Bonnie and Clyde Days (being held Saturday, October 12, 2019 on the historic downtown square from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) will feature a free evening concert at 6:30 p.m., headlined by Jarrod Morris, with Tyler Rogers opening.

BACKGROUND: The annual festival is held to commemorate and reenact the 1967 filming of the “bank robbery scene” in the Warner Brothers movie “Bonnie and Clyde,” (starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty), at the historic bank building on the town square. In addition to the movie filming, Pilot Point was a known hangout of the REAL Bonnie and Clyde and the Barrow Gang. Local legend has it that a family member lived in the area and offered the gang a safe haven.
