During the Blanco Lavender Festival June 8th - 10th, an assortment of vendors and artists will gather on the historic grounds of the Old Blanco County Courthouse in the center of Blanco, selling lavender items and lavender-related goods.

Market hours will be noon to 6 pm on Friday, 10 am to 8 pm on Saturday and 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday. Educational programs about lavender will be presented upstairs in the courthouse on Saturday and Sunday.

Many of the lavender farms participating in the 2012 Blanco Lavender Festival will have booths at the market, each featuring their lavender and lavender-related products.

Friday Noon to 6 PM / Saturday 10 AM to 8 PM / Sunday 10 AM to 4 PM A festival-goer's favorite, this popular market features all four lavender farms with booths selling their own lavender products and plants. Over 100 other vendors from all over Texas showcase arts, crafts, and lavender-related wares.

For the health and safety of your pets, we don't recommend bringing them to the Festival. It is traditionally a very hot, crowded event. Last year we observed dogs with heat exhaustion as well as dogs fighting.
