Bluebonnet Festival tickets — Burnet, Texas

Discover the Beloved Bluebonnet Festival

The Bluebonnet Festival is more than a festival — it's a Hill Country tradition that transforms Burnet’s historic downtown into a weekend of live music, parades, and community pride. Each spring, fans lock in Bluebonnet Festival tickets to be part of one of Texas’ most charming small-town celebrations.

Founded in 1983, the festival unfolds across the Burnet Historic Square at 220 S Pierce St and the surrounding streets. It has grown to welcome tens of thousands of visitors annually, earning recognition as one of the top small-town festivals in Texas.

Expect a full slate of programming designed for all ages — from headline concerts and arts & crafts to the beloved parade, car shows, and a high-energy demolition derby. Previous years have featured Texas country and regional acts like Dale Watson and Rick Trevino, adding a classic Lone Star soundtrack to the weekend.

Centered around the vibrant bluebonnet wildflower season, the event pairs small-town warmth with plenty to explore — multiple stages, vendor-lined streets, and picturesque moments around the historic square. It’s a festival that captures the spirit of the Hill Country and keeps you coming back year after year.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Bluebonnet Festival

Burnet Historic Square, 220 S Pierce St

Burnet, Texas 78611

The festival takes place in the heart of Burnet’s historic downtown, approximately 55 miles northwest of Austin — an easy Hill Country drive for a full day or weekend getaway.

• Parking: Free and paid parking lots are available around the downtown area. Street parking is limited and fills quickly during festival days, and shuttle service may be offered from remote lots.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup/dropoff zones may be set up near the festival perimeter.

Arrival Recommendations

Give yourself 60–90 minutes before headline events to find parking, explore the festival footprint, and grab a good viewing spot. Lots fill fast around the historic square, and early arrival is the best way to secure comfortable ground space for your lawn chairs or blankets.

This is a spring outdoor festival in Texas, so plan for variable weather. Bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen) and a light layer for breezy evenings — and be prepared for a pop-up shower just in case. The festival spans several city blocks with flat terrain, so expect moderate walking between stages, vendor markets, and activity zones.

If you’re meeting friends, pick a landmark on the Burnet Historic Square as your meetup spot to save time and avoid texts in crowded areas. Cell service is generally good but can be spotty during peak crowd times, so download your tickets in advance and confirm plans before you arrive.

Venue Navigation

The festival is centered on the Burnet Historic Square with stages and activities spreading onto adjacent streets — think open plazas, vendor-lined avenues, and multiple viewing zones. Wayfinding is straightforward: follow posted signage or stop by an information booth to grab guidance on where to catch live music, special events, and family-friendly activities.

You’ll find plenty of festival staples throughout the footprint: concessions and food courts, portable restrooms, merchandise stalls, and first aid stations. ATMs are on-site, and vendor rows feature arts & crafts and local artisan goods. Comfortable footwear is a smart choice since you’ll be on your feet exploring throughout the day.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.

Pre-Event Planning

Build your day around the Bluebonnet Festival schedule so you can catch the parade, demolition derby, and your must-see live music sets without rushing. With the footprint spread across the Burnet Historic Square and surrounding streets, it’s helpful to map out a path between stages and vendor areas to maximize your time.

If you’re after golden-hour photos, plan to be near the square at sunset — the setting is especially picturesque during bluebonnet season. For families or groups, choose a central meetup point early in the day and check in between events; crowds swell during headliners and signature attractions.

Keep an eye on Bluebonnet Festival upcoming events updates each April — lineups and special activities can vary year to year, and early planning helps you snag the best viewing spots and parking.
