Bluebonnet Festival blooms in Burnet

April brings bluebonnets and the Bluebonnet Festival. While the blooms are having a not-so-impressive season, Burnet’s main event always has a strong showing. This year’s Bluebonnet Festival is April 11-13, with most activities taking place around the courthouse square. The Mighty Thomas Carnival opens April 10 and continues through the weekend. The event also features parades (including one for pets), a Wild West gunfight, a demolition derby, vendors, live entertainment, and musical headliner Lonestar.
