2021 April Soooo not really a business, but worth a mention!…read moreChappell hill bluebonnet festival!! Perfect weather...perfect place!! Once a year, Along the streets of the small city of chapel hill...is a cozy little area to look at booth after booth after booth of crafts, foods, hot sauces, and other homemade goodies!! the people are extremely polite and fun to talk to...alcohol is located throughout the area with a few scattered ATM machines. Free to get in, you can spend a few hours out there....live music and good times!! Love it

Review #3 - This festival is nothing less than Texas AWESOME! My mom would bring us here as kids…read moreand I loathed being drug here. However this was my first time back in probably over 20 year and they have TONS of things geared towards kids now. I'd be a happy kid! Anything under the sun "festival" will be found here. I was hoping to see more Bluebonnet art, but unlike 20 some odd years years ago it's more commercialized now, just think any festival you go to with "some" bluebonnet stuff mixed it. Home decor, yard art, Texas art, graphic tees, clothes, make your own potpourri, candles, jewelry, festival memorabilia,everything! And let's not forget about festival food! Lots of it! Adult beverages can be found everywhere. You can also get a glimpse into Chappell Hill history by going into the Historical Society building and other buildings along Main St. There is a kids section of carnival rides and face painting for those who have kids in tow. Parking as of this year is $5 and contrary to review number 1 - apparently they have it covered now because there were zero issues. Tip 1 - I would suggest arriving first thing in the morning to avoid any congestion. Tip 2 - There are TONS of yard art vendors. Shop around before you impulse buy. Several venders are much cheaper than the venders at the very start of the festival off Main and 290. Tip 3 - Some venders (not all) only take cash - so bring it! There is an ATM in the Historical Society building....unless they move it. Tip 4 - I laughed when I saw women toting around carts and wagons without kids. But I soon found that they were the smart ones! I bought so much cheap yard art that I could hardly carry it. Who's laughing now. Not me!! Lesson learned - bring something to carry your crap once you buy! You'll be happy you did! Enjoy!!!

Another year goes by and another Nocturnal Wonderland is in the books. The 2011 event was one of…read morethe best of my life and the 2012 edition didn't fail to impress either! The music was loud, the lights were intense and the mood was just right! People from all across the world venture to Apache Pass to enjoy this event, which is considered one of (if not the) best EDM festivals in the south, and the confluence of people make for a spectacular event. This year saw a few changes from the last few years. The Sunken Temple stage was brought across the river and placed on a faux-pirate ship that blasted fire from its main mast, when the beat was just right, of course. The heat from the pyrotechnic monstrosity could be felt from the farthest regions of the seating arena. Mostly comprised of local and rising acts, this "chill" area ended up bumping much harder than many expected. This is clearly a result of the blossoming central Texas EDM scene. The natural bowl of the surrounding hill made this an ideal location to take a seat, catch your breath but still maintain a constant stream of bass rich sounds that can do nothing but soothe the soul. The Upside Down Room was the main attraction for many this year. If you're a fan of Dubstep or Drum and Base, this was most likely where you were positioned for the majority of the evenings. Acts such as Borgore, Mt Eden, Datsik, 12th Planet, Pendulum, Chase and Status, Cookie Monsta, and even local up and comer Skrause rocked this bass heavy stage which saw a significant improvement in its light set up this year. Nicely tucked in the woods towards the rear end of the park, this location truly felt like a bass cave who's walls came to life with every hit of the bass and every gust of the wind. The atmosphere was spectacular. The energy was high and everybody was grooving, easy access to refreshments and restrooms made this one of the best areas in the entire venue. One of the main attractions every year is the giant pyramid stage that is better known by most as the Queen's Ground. This year the stage was taken over by a wave of house that had the ground hopping around for the entire weekend. Top notch lighting and screens made this the most visually impressive stage of the year. All of the acts had incredible shows but the ones delivered on the Queen's Ground had a special look to them. Puffs of smoke, shots of pyrotechnics and high resolution imagery made this area a spectacle in itself, let alone when accompanied by world class musicians. Talent like Tïesto, Hardwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Aoki, Calvin Harris, Dillon Frances and Morgan Page kept the kids dancing from the moment they entered the grounds till the second the last amp was turned off. If you're a house head, you couldn't go wrong here! The Labyrinth is the largest stage and it definitely saw its fair share of talent as well. Playing home to more bands this year, this stage also has some amazing lights and sound production. There were a full range of acts in the Labyrinth ranging from STS9, AWOLNATION and Chromeo to Eoto, Röyksopp, Lotus and Nero. There wasn't a taste that couldn't be satisfied on this stage. Large viewing areas made the ability to stretch out and dance a breeze. This stage brought out the weird, it brought out the bass....it brought out everything you could want it to and much more. One of my favorite stages of Wonderland, I saw some great acts here and loved the openness that the Labyrinth constantly offered. I could even see this stage from my campsite across the street. Talk about being a happy camper... Some of the visual attractions many have come to love were not in attendance this year. The visual art is one of the greatest aspects of the festival and I know many were disappointed in some of their absences. The tunnel of lights, the floating diamond and lightning cage were all not in attendance. Being fan favorites, I heard constant griping about this during my trip into the rabbit hole. I really hope Insomniac brings those back next year. The addition of the giant mirrored mushrooms was cool but they would do well to bring back those other attractions patrons of the event have come to know and love. Security was no joke at the event. Hats/shoes were checked, pants were shaken and pockets were emptied. The road into the festival reminded me something out of a dystopian book, flooded with police and pulled over vehicles. Only sealed packs of gum and cigarettes were allowed into the event and every ticket was scanned with an electronic device to check its authenticity. If you were planning on sneaking in, good luck, the perimeter was crawling with security clad in, far from tactical, bright yellow shirts. I do know some people who managed to get backstage without a special pass, that goes to show you how well some of them did their jobs. Overall, great job Insomniac! Another year in the books and another fantastic experience! Can't wait for next year!

Worst. Festival. Ever. to date. It was a one day festival that took place on a Sunday (weird, I…read moreknow). Upon getting there, everyone had to pay $20 to park their cars in this field of mud. Literally, a field of mud. By the end of the night (which was hella early due to "sound violations), there were literally dozens of tow trucks on site pulling people out. So not only did you pay $20 to park in a crappy mud pit, you now had to pay God knows what to get your car unstuck. (And I hope you didn't wear any shoes that you cared any amount for.) Next came the awful music. The choices were okay, but many didn't show up. Or their sound was cut off. Or the bass quit working. Or they were an hour late to their set. This literally affected every single set, and Flux Pavilion was so pissed about it, he even said on stage how much the festival sucked! Not good. Shortly after this fiasco, the company went under. Or, at least I think they did. Their website disappeared, Facebook went missing, and no one's made any posts on their Twitter until just after the festival took place in 2013. Shameful, but at least they won't be coming back to take anyone else's money over some bs festival they threw together at the last minute.

Held in the small town of Hallettsville, TX, the Kolache Fest is a cool and tasty way to have a…read more fun day. There's lots to see and hear as well as many delicious things to eat! The Kolache Fest is held at the Knight of Columbus Hall in Hallettsville., TX. It consists of games, arts and crafts booths, a classic car show, live polka music, dancing, a BBQ judging, food demos, a Biergarten and of course kolaches. The kolaches are provided by Kountry Bakery. As we drove past the restaurant itself we noticed how packed it was. After trying their kolaches at the festival, we can understand why it was so crowded. The kolaches are great. We wanted to try them all. Kolaches are sold at the festival by the half dozens and available in fruit varieties, cream cheese and as they call them, "pig" (sausage) with and without cheese and jalapeño. The events themselves are held at various times and offer something for everyone. Besides the above listed events there are many more - too many to list! We especially liked the food demos and the crocodile show as well as the classic cars. The live polka music and bands were talented and put on a lively, toe tapping show. Food items for sale are homemade by some very good bakers and benefit some well deserving organizations. Homemade sweets make any event that much better. There is lots of seating in a covered pavilion with huge ceiling fans that give relief from some of the heat. Hallettsville is a small town and this event has a big turnout so arriving early is the best way to ensure good parking although the lot is large. A trivia bit we learned is that it is the only town in the world with the name Hallettsville. It has the friendly, welcoming, small town type warmth that isn't always found within they city. If you like good food and friendly festivities the Kolache Fest is something you'll enjoy.

ZZ Top was…read morethe headliner for Saturday night, so there was quite a crowd, I heard estimates of 18,000, which is a lot of people for this fair. They set up a stage at the edge of the fairgrounds and it actually worked really well. I think they learned a lesson last year when the crowds were too large for their usual stage for the Merle Haggard concert. Kudos for recognizing the problem and creating a solution. On Sunday night, Earl Thomas Conley put on a great show. He sang his hits and a few not so well known songs, for a good mix of his music. Friday night was BJ Thomas and the Triumphs. Word is they were really good as well. The fair continues to be a lot of fun. We go every year and always have a lot of fun. A season pass was only $35 and you get 4 nights of entertainment included. If you enjoy county fairs, put this one on your calendar for next Labor Day.

Every year they've gotten better and better ask and this year they had ZZ Top. Really outdid themselves.

They also had Earl Thomas Conley on Sunday night which was great it wasn't too many people and you can really enjoy it. I love the fair and always will go back.

I guess cool stuff does happen every now and then in Huntsville…read more This year was Huntsville's 38th annual Fair on the Square. Open from 9am - 5pm, families and college students alike gathered in the downtown square for the plethora of fun activities and neat sights to enjoy. A giant chunk of the downtown streets were shut down to accommodate what seemed like hundreds of vendors from all over this part of Texas. Clothing boutiques, nick-knacks, fatty fair foods, holiday decorations, jewelry, candles, nuts, antiques. Seriously, you can find anything here. The best part-- the people and the spirit. I love when people come together in outdoor gatherings in high spirits. I love all the Texas gear-- giant door displays of Cowboy Santa, "Happy Fall Y'all" signs, Texas stars, university gear, leather gun holsters, cowboy-decorated wreaths, etc. It's worth checking out in you're in the area!
