The Ennis Bluebonnet Festival has easily become one of my favorite festivals in Texas. This local festival is homey, beautiful, and the perfect way to celebrate our wildflower! Ennis Blue Bonnet Festival: The Trails Every Spring Ennis hosts their annual blue bonnet festival perfectly timed when the blue bonnets cover the area. At the downtown square you can pick up maps showing where to see the trails with the best blooms. We started our festival experience by driving through the three different trails in search of the perfect trails.

There were so many lovely hand crafted items, boutiques, and more that were fun to browse through while walking. One of the cool things I discovered was a Texas owned business selling alcohol infused chocolates. So many good flavors! There were also food stands filled with everything from your typical festival food (street corn, turkey legs, funnel cakes) to more unique items like brisket mac n cheese and cajun food! Wine Wander at the Ennis Blue Bonnet Festival The wine wander is one of my favorite events because every year that I go, I find new wines and wineries that I love. They have new wineries each year offering incredible deals. For the price of the wine wander you get tickets to try the different wines while visiting the different booths, and you get to keep their cute wine glass. This year an unexpected favorite for me was the chocolate retreat wine which I put on top of a bowl of ice cream. Yumm! For the Kids Oh to be a kid again! Can they make these activities for adults? There were plenty of activities to keep the kiddos amused! Ennis Bluebonnet Festival Make sure you stay for the live music because it is a hoot! This year’s festival brought in Le Freak, and people of all ages were dancing to classics and partying away! You can bring chairs to relax or stand up front. Either way Ennis is good at finding a band that will be enjoyable for everyone! Where to Stay If you’re looking to add to you experience or want to stay overnight, consider booking a stay at the adorable Hoefer House! It is a beautifully restored home in the historic district that is just filled with character! Fittingly, I checked into the bluebonnet room. It was just a short walk away from the festival and downtown square. One thing I loved about the house was the vintage mixed with modern. The rooms were large, chic, and gorgeous.

Wanting to visit Provence and the beautiful lavender fields? While the lavender is smaller in Texas, you can still experience the beauty of the lavender in Blanco Texas at the Blanco Lavender Festival in June every year. Blanco Lavender Farms While you can visit anytime the lavender is in bloom, the Blanco Lavender Festival is a good time to visit Hill Country Lavender. In the past the lavender was located in a different location, but a new field opened up. Here you can pick bundles of lavender and it just smells so good! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Texas Blogger – Travel (@mycurlyadventures_) on Jun 9, 2019 at 3:25pm PDT Blanco Lavender Festival The actual festival is held downtown and is filled with lavender goods of all kinds, vendors, and even live music. The festival is free, although some places charge for parking. The Blanco Lavender Festival is open Friday-Sunday although we opted to go on Friday for less crowds. At this point I’ve been to quite a few small town festivals, and I noticed that Blanco did a great job of curating a great mixture of booths and things you would actually want to buy. It’s a great place to get gifts for people (or yourself!) In addition to vendors, they also have fun presentations like cooking with lavender. Lavender Everything at the Blanco Lavender Festival Of course while at the Blanco Lavender Festival I had to try EVERYTHING lavender. My top pick was the Lavender Lizzie, a mixture of champagne and lavender simple syrup. We even picked up some of the syrup to make this and lavender margaritas at home. In addition they had lavender lemonade, lavender bundt cakes, lavender cheesecakes, and lavender lemon sugar cookies. Basically I was in lavender heaven. There were multiple lavender booths at the festival selling lavender plants, beauty products, sprays, art work, and every lavender item you didn’t know you needed until you came to this festival.
