Today, the community, nestled within the scenic hills, is quiet and fun-filled, a place where small town tranquility and family-oriented activities are enjoyed throughout the year. Helote is the Indian name for corn, it is generally considered the source of the community's name. In the very early days, the area was home to the Lipan Apache tribe which relied on corn, called "helote" for food. Each spring, when the tribe's chief declared the corn ripe, a festival was held. Today that tradition is observed with the annual Cornyval festival the first weekend in May. Cornyval started in the 1960s as a way for non-profit groups to raise money for their organizations. It is a fun-filled event for the whole family. It offers many different type of entertainment such as a PRCA rodeo, craft shows, a Civil War re-enactment, a snake-oil medical show, Old B&B now home to a gift shop Tejano and western music, and a midway with carnival rides.

Equally breathtaking are the views along State Highway 16 towards Bandera and its Old West atmosphere. Helotes City Park developed for wildlife viewing is located at Helotes City Hall, 12951 Bandera Road. Look for the trail across from City Hall.
