My favorite season of all, festival season (aka Spring), is finally officially here (as of March 20). It’s time to dust off our RV and head out on the road. We’ve been cooped up in the house too long and need to see some lake views, mountains and wilderness ASAP! In my online searching for new destinations, I came across a few festivals happening this year in Texas that you should put on your calendar, because they almost guarantee a great time.

Texas SandFest

Every year in Port Aransas, dozens of sand sculpture artists and amateurs gather on the beach and create some amazing works. Over 100,000 people head to the beaches during the weekend of April 11-13, to experience sand art, music, and great food. This sounds like a fun time to me! Plus, it’s only a couple of hours away from Houston.

Schulenburg SausageFest

This one sounds like a tasty treat! On April 5, in Downtown Schulenburg, they are having the first annual SausageFest. Polka music, beer and a homemade sausage competition. Does anyone know a good sausage recipe?

Denton Arts and Jazz Festival

If you’re in the mood for some jazz, it may be time to book a trip to North Texas the weekend of April 25-27 for the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival. Seven stages of continuous music, tons of arts and crafts vendors and one of my favorite Jazz singers, Al Jarreau is playing!

Chicken Fried Steak Festival / Balloon Rally

In one of the more interesting (and possibly delicious) finds on the festival circuit, there is a get-together in Lamesa from April 25-27, that celebrates chicken fried steaks. Not only do the celebrate it, but they also have a balloon rally, chiken fried steak cook-off, classic car show, a 5K and a pet show. Well that sounds like a full weekend. Where do I sign up?
