2018 Burnet Bluebonnet Festival
"The Most Exciting Small-Town Festival in Texas" is celebrating 35 years. The
2018 Burnet Bluebonnet Festival is April 13-15.
The festival is one of the hallmark celebrations of spring and our state flower with bike rides, a fun run, lots of music, a carnival, a doghouse race (yeah, you read that right), and even a wiener dog race. The list could go on and on.
