There is also a garden but it was not in bloom when we were there. Parking is on the street. Donations appreciated but not required. Hours are narrow but you can also call them for a tour.

The 27th Red Poppy Festival taking place in Georgetown, Texas on April 24-26, 2026 is an…read moreinteractive and welcoming spring celebration that truly captures the heart of the community. The festival is held in the city's historic downtown square. The festival brings together live music, artisans, vendors, food trucks, parades, and family-friendly activities in a festive atmosphere. The streets come alive with color, energy, and the signature red poppies that symbolize Georgetown's identity as the "Red Poppy Capital of Texas". Until today, I did not know this well-kept secret. It was so cool to see so many people with poppy clothing - dresses, tops, pants and even one gentleman with a red poppy beard. My friend and I spent 6 hours at the festival. This festival has a little something for everyone. Georgetown visitors and residents enjoyed multiple music stages (Red Poppy, Mayfair and Celebrate) featuring local and nationally recognized performers, browse more than 150 handmade artisan booths, and take part in traditions he such as the Poppy Parade, classic car show, and the POPP Pup Parade. The featured bands while we visited included: Red Poppy Stage Schedule American Gypsy Band: 5:15-6:15 p.m. Jade Eagleson: 6:45-8 p.m. Maddie & Tae: 8:30-10 p.m. Mayfair Stage Schedule Rich Stolp: 4-5 p.m. Celebrate Stage Schedule GISD Ballet Folklorico and Mariachi Band: 4-4:50 p.m. Georgetown Palace Theatre Education: 5-5:55 p.m. The Red Poppy Festival fostered a huge sense of community. Local businesses, volunteers, and performers came together to create a warm, authentic small-town experience. With thoughtful touches such as shuttles, accessible parking options, and pet-friendly policies, the festival reflects Georgetown's hospitality and commitment to inclusivity. The event was well-organized, free to attend, and designed to appeal to all ages, making it an ideal outing for families, couples, and friends. The Red Poppy Festival was a joyful celebration of spring, local culture, and community pride and a standout event in Central Texas's festival calendar. Only one thing that could have made it better was to see actual fresh poppies.

Great local event that we were able to attend for the first time since moving in the area…read more Tons and tons of different vendors selling food, arts, crafts, products, services and much more. I loved the setup, putting vendors back to back and not closing off the regular stores in the area. We wandered for a few hours checking out stores and booths, mixing between so we could get relief from the heat. We were able to be more exposed to stores we maybe wouldn't have stopped into before this event. Due to the event spanning multiple blocks it was easy to find street parking that didn't feel super far away from the action. They had a designated area where 6 or 7 food trucks were parked. This was the only area that needs to be setup differently in the future. Long lines and it was confusing who was in line and difficult to stay out of others way or to get through past people waiting in line or for food to be done. We'll definitely be attending again next year and will probably go later in the day to enjoy the free concerts in the square as well.

It's an extremely nice thing that if you lived in Leander when you served or if you live here currently you can be inscribed at no cost and in that way be remembered for all time. The form is available, along with the qualifications and the instructions online. I'm in the process of getting Mr. W's documentation together to submit. The ceremony was very nice -mainly honoring an incredible Veteran who survived Pearl Harbor. It was my honor to shake his hand and thank him for his service after the presentations and while a huge birthday cake honoring the 100th Birthday of the USMC -was served to all. It was small, but definitely more people came then planned and the future looks bright here. A couple of things we discussed with the mayor are that the waterfall although beautiful blocked a lot of the words delivered during the ceremony so they either need a larger volume microphone or to Cut off for reduce the power of the waterfall when people are speaking. Next year they're going to need a lot more chairs... based on the volume of people that were there this year with no seats! I read that there is one woman who's going to put together a 5K run and hopefully there will be some semblance of the parade. There were less than a handful of the antique cars so we've got to get the word out there because I know there are a lot of car aficionados in our area that would probably love to show off their hobby. Good job City of Leander !!! Looking forward to continuing to contribute to the veterans Park through our monthly water bill. Hopefully everybody will consider it as it's a great opportunity to honor those that allow us to observe and live our freedom daily.

Very capacious, and nearly perfect sight lines but that comes at a cost of a steeply ramped floor. It's questionable in my mind how ADA accessible it is, so it'd be a good idea to call ahead before you go. They didn't skimp on the restrooms either which are obvious and close to the theater.

My second time ever to the Dell Diamond. It's so close to me, but I've never gone to a true Round…read moreRock Express game. Shame on me! I had a coupon for me and a plus one to have a reserved seat for free at the Dell Diamond, and I wanted to take advantage of it. I convinced my buddy to go with me to an opening series game where the Round Rock Express faced the Gwinnett Stripers. We agreed to go on a Wednesday to get our dollar hot dog night on. You know how that goes. Of course, going to every sporting event feels like they are going to nickel and dime you. It's $15 for parking, so if you can carpool, I'd highly recommend it. Beers range from $12 for domestic to $14 for craft. Everything is pricey. The hot dogs still remained $2 the whole night. Selfishly, I ate 5 over the nine innings. I didn't eat much through the day, and a decent ballpark dog was calling my name. As for the actual game, it was over by the second inning. The night was very windy, so no balls had a chance to go yard. The Stripers scored 6 runs at the top of the 2nd and it was 7 scoreless innings for the Express. Ay caramba. The nice gentleman in front of us was at the game with his wife and gave us good conversation. We watched kids rabid for the flying foul balls. Sometimes the game isn't even the most entertaining part because the stadium has a story of its own. The hot dogs were very nice. At a dollar, they could be lukewarm, soggy, and wrinkled, but they were dense, flavorful, and actually pretty good. Sometimes I wonder if dollar dogs are cheaper and they probably are, but you couldn't fool me. They weren't jumbo quarter-pound dogs by any means, but they were a normal quality-sized wiener. I drank a draft of the Love Street Blonde, one of my favorite common craft beverages, and got a can of Michelob Ultra from a very nice hawker that I obviously tipped. I just don't really like Michelob Ultra, I realize. I took a stroll through the Dell Diamond before leaving and there's a lot of cool spots from their yard in the back, which is great for just relaxing during the game, though the view isn't the most ideal for the action (great for bombs though). There's a full bar as well with baseball simulators and TVs showing other games, but if I'm paying money to park and watch a game, maybe that's not the move IMO. Regardless of the Express getting rocked by the Stripers, I had a great time and want to return to more Express games this season. As a young adult, the deals on weekdays are too good to pass up. Thursday might be a move in the future for those $4 domestics, $7 drafts, and cheaper food options around the park. Maybe next time the Express will get more runs than hot dogs I ate.

My husband proudly announces he can't draw a stick figure, so this was definitely out of his comfort zone, but he willingly joined in the surprise. There are a number of paintings available on different nights, so the first step is to pick the one you want to do. From there, everything is set up for you with a plate of paint colors, a primed canvas, brushes and instruction. There's no presumption that you actually know what to do and Rodd, our instructor explained everything in plain English - not artsy lingo - so that you can follow along. Both instructors were there when you made a mistake or needed assistance or more paint and they were patient through the process. Neither of our paintings will end up in a fancy gallery, but we were happy with our finished works and the two hour class went at the right pace.
