The Annual Red Poppy Festival

The Annual Red Poppy Festival is held on the last full weekend of April on The Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas! The 2023 festival will be held on April 28-30.

The Red Poppy Festival has hosted a who’s who of artists and bands throughout the last few decades and this year promises to be better than ever. With live performances, all three stages will be heating up and turning out the good time vibes. The fun starts blooming on Friday evening when artisans set up their wares, fresh smells waft from food vendors and live music starting at 7 p.m.

The festival really blossoms on Saturday when it kicks off with the Poppy Parade and Car Show. Once the engines turn off, the day is yours to make. Kids can get crafts at the Fun Zone and everyone can feast their senses on fine arts, tasty treats and live music all day, wrapping up with a Saturday night concert!

There’s nothing better than a Sunday Funday, except for one spent at the Red Poppy Festival. Wind down the weekend with one last wander through the artisan market and raise a toast of local fare to the smooth sounds of a well-played weekend.
