Kerrville’s year-round tourist-friendly weather makes it the perfect place to visit anytime and enjoy the numerous events that make up our calendar. There is always something going on for visitors and residents alike. But there’s something especially magical about visiting Texas Hill Country around Kerrville in the Spring. Days start to get a little longer, wildflowers start to bloom and it’s just the perfect time to get out and explore.
Our spring season begins with events centering around Easter weekend, such as the Easter Fest & Cook-off, which features live music, good food, washer pitching and family fun throughout the day and is free to the public. Easter Services at the Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden go on all throughout the holiday weekend with one of the best views in town. You will find your time there fulfilling both spiritually and visually.

Kerrville and the Kerrville area is also blessed to be home to a very talented arts community. With two local theaters to choose from, VK Garage and the Hill Country Arts Foundation, as well as the Cailloux Theater, known for bringing in Branson style entertainment as well as housing Kerrville’s very own symphony, you are sure to catch an amazing production while you’re here.
Art festivals make up a big part of the Kerrville spring experience.
