Get outdoors at Llano Parks Festival June 9-11

The Llano Parks Project’s second-ever Llano Parks Festival is June 9-11 at Robinson City Park, 123 Robinson Park Drive. Admission is free. Enjoy more than a dozen family-friendly activities, tournaments for golfers and anglers, a 5K fun run, and live music.

“We just really want people to have more awareness about who we are and to get out to the parks,” said Julie Leverett, president of the Llano Parks Project.

Founded in 2013, the group is on a mission to restore and develop Llano County parks. The first festival in 2021 aimed to push people outside into the fresh air during the COVID-19 pandemic.

After nearly two years of planning, the event returns bigger and better.
