The hills are alive with a sea of blue as Ennis launches the 74th Annual Bluebonnet Trails Festival! Located just 40 minutes south of Dallas, Ennis is the official Bluebonnet City of Texas and this weekend, it's the place to be for nature lovers and festival-goers alike.
What to Expect:
- The Festival Atmosphere: The heart of downtown Ennis will transform into a pedestrian-friendly celebration from Friday through Sunday.
- Live Music: Enjoy performances from 13 different musical acts on the main stage throughout the weekend.
- Eat, Drink & Shop: Explore a variety of local and regional vendors, a Wine Wander tent, a beer garden, and even a carnival for the kids.
- The Famous Trails: Experience the stunning beauty of the bluebonnets. For the latest updates on the best blooms, check out the Bluebonnet Trails Facebook page.
Pro-Tips for Your Visit:
- Respect Private Property: While the blooms are everywhere, many are on private land. Visit the Ennis Welcome Center for maps and guidance on the best public viewing spots, which often include photo ops with Clydesdale horses and Longhorns.
- Don't Let Rain Dampen the Fun: Forecasters are calling for some rain, but as Mayor Linda Isbell says, "a little bit of rain always makes them chime that much more"!
- Expect a Crowd: With nearly 100,000 visitors expected in Ennis over the month and 50,000 for the festival alone, plan to arrive early.
Festival Hours:
- Friday: 9:00 AM – Evening
- Saturday: 9:00 AM – Evening
