Vendors, Recreation and More

BLUEM is a family-friendly event filled with activities for all ages, such as yard games, rock climbing, arts and crafts, archery and lots and lots of flowers! While exploring the park, enjoy food by Pig Pen BBQ, Dolce Bacio Gelato and delicious coffee drinks by AFUGÃ. You'll also get a mini photo session with Brown Marie Photography to capture the perfect bluebonnet photo.

You can also crank up the adventure with a UTV tour through the park (some age restrictions apply).

This year, we've teamed up with Texas Outdoor Recreation Alliance to feature a vendor marketplace. Check out gear, services and learn from local outdoor industry providers to help you explore more in Texas. 

Come for a while or stay for the day. Either way, make memories this spring in the wildflowers.
