The Oatmeal Festival in downtown Bertram, Texas is one of the Hill Country’s most beloved annual traditions — a full day of parades, live music, wacky contests, and small-town Texas heart, held every fall since 1978.

The 3.3 mile Run for Your Oats fun run gets the day rolling at 8 a.m. followed by a pet parade at 9:30 a.m. then the Oatmeal Festival Grand Parade at 10 a.m.

Enjoy a day filled with street vendors, a car show, wineries, and beer, along with a variety of choices at the food court, and live music on the stage all day. There will be an area for kids to play, along with relay games, a washer tournament, and more. End the day with the free street dance that begins at 7:00 pm. All of the fun takes place on Vaughan Street in downtown Bertram, Tx.
