Daffodil Festival
Round Rock, Texas

When: early March [check for this year's dates]

Where: Allen Baca Activities Center, 301 West Bagdad Avenue, Building 2

In 2003, the 78th Texas Legislature declared Round Rock the Daffodil Capital of Texas, proclaiming:

...the hardy, colorful daffodil is a fitting emblem for the City of Round Rock, which traces its roots back to the mid-19th century and the community that grew up around Jacob Harrell's blacksmith shop on Brushy Creek; the settlers who stopped in Round Rock and at myriad other points in the Lone Star State were quick to beautify their surroundings with the durable daffodil, and the progeny of those plants still bloom around the sites of old homesteads and in the midst of innumera0ble country cemeteries...

The growing community, located just north of Austin on I-35, celebrates that daffodil heritage with an annual festival. The event includes entertainment ranging from live music to clowns, face painting, an auction, raffle and more. Free games are available for kids along with photo opportunities with a spring or Easter bunny backdrop. For the adults, there's a pool tournament and plenty of shopping at booths that feature the handmade creations of local craftspeople.

The festival also features expert presentations and more about the daffodils that brightened Round Rock's early spring season.

When it's time to take a break, the festival features Texas foods.

Admission is free.
