The Hill Country Galleria will bloom with music, arts and family fun
April 30 when the fourth annual SpringFest arrives in Bee Cave.
The event will feature more than 150 local and regional artisan
vendor booths, a “KidZone” with a gaga pit, bounce houses, reverse
bungee, hamster wheels and face-painting.
“We tried to make the event bigger and tried to focus more on kids’
activities,” said Will Mitchell, SpringFest's chairman. “It is a
family-oriented event, so that’s our target market.”
In addition to shopping, there will be a beer garden and a barbecue
cook-off area where judges will determine the best bloody mary and the
best cook by deeming him or her the Lake Travis Rib King.
Live music, sponsored by the American Bank of Lakeway, includes PAIYH
Dance Studios, TexARTS, the Carson Brock Band, Andrea Marie and The
Magnolia Band, Duck Soup and Bruce Robison. Lexus of Austin, Sail &
Ski and Austin Boats and Motors will also have various vehicles and
watercraft available to view.
The organizers expect about 10,000–12,000 attendees to this year’s
event—about 2,000 more than 2010—but hope to keep that small town sense
of community.
“It’s big for our community because it’s a time we all come
together,” Mitchell said. “I think everything we have appeals to
everyone in our community.”
The event begins at 11 a.m. at 12700 Hill Country Blvd.
