Evenings in Johnson City are "where it's happening" during the lavender festival. Begin your Lavender Weekend on Friday evening in Johnson City with the Pub, Shop & Gallery "Crawl" and overnight with us for the weekend's events. Join us again on Saturday night with a traditional "Street Dance" to unwind after a day of visiting lavender farms and enjoying the Blanco Lavender Festival.

The evening weekend events in Johnson City include a Friday Night Pub, Shop & Gallery "Crawl" and a Saturday Night Street Dance. Many Johnson City businesses will stay open late and be offering all kinds of lavender goodies and treats!

You will be welcomed by many Johnson City businesses during the Friday Night Pub, Shop & Gallery "Crawl" event with maps, ticket and prizes. Visit our local restaurants and pubs, including the Silver K Café, the Friendly Bar Bistro, and Buddy's at the Feed Mill Restaurant & Tavern and more. Don't miss the incredible art at a variety of galleries, including Kirchman Gallery, Watson Studio Gallery and the Black Spur Emporium & Gallery and other stops around town. Step back in history with a visit to the The Historic Pearl Antique Mall & Tea Room. Many of the local retailers will also stay open late. Enjoy light snacks and beverages, lavender products and live music. We encourage you enjoy all the local venues and fill your "goody bag" with a special item from each participating business.

Smell the aroma? Lavender is just one more reason you have to visit the Texas Hill Country! The adventurous spirit of this new industry is the same spirit that brought the pioneers who settled this rugged landscape. To celebrate the beginning of the lavender bloom season, the Blanco Chamber of Commerce and the Blanco Lavender Growers Association invite you to join them for the Third Annual Blanco Lavender Festival in Blanco and to visit the Lavender Farms on the Tour. The Johnson City Chamber of Commerce invites you to their evening events in Johnson City.

The towns of Blanco and Johnson City are located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Blanco is located on the banks of the Blanco River while Johnson City is located on the banks of the Pedernales River. Close by are year-round nature and recreational destination Texas State Parks, the Blanco State Park near Blanco and Pedernales State Park near Johnson City. Throughout the area, attractions located within a few minutes from either center will enhance your lavender experience.

The entire town of Blanco and the surrounding countryside will be bathed in lavender during the Lavender Festival. The Lavender Market, on the grounds of the historic Blanco County Courthouse, is always a must-see highlight of the festival. Selected vendors and artists from across the Hill Country will offer lavender-related pleasures and treasures from the finest craftsmen.
