Music festival, live performances at blueberry festival

The 26th Annual Texas Blueberry Festival presented by Brookshire Brothers will put about 30-plus live entertainment acts on several stages throughout downtown Nacogdoches. The festival is 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, June 13.

“The music festival within the Texas Blueberry Festival offers an eclectic mix of free entertainment including classic rock, Texas country and blues and acoustic folk guitar,” said Crystal Capps, festival entertainment coordinator. “Plus, folks are able to enjoy other types of live performances such as dance, martial arts and gymnastics.”

The Main Street Stage is at the east end of the festival boundaries, in the city parking lot at the Main St. and Mound St. intersection. If you wander south of downtown – down the hill – you will find the Festival Park Fredonia Rotary Stage. The Plaza Principal Stage is the stage behind the Visitor Center in the heart of the festival near the Pilar St. and Pecan St. intersection.

“Artists performing at the Texas Blueberry Festival will have CDs for sale near each stage,” said Jaclyn Partin, festival entertainment coordinator. “All acts are subject to change, so check the Entertainment page of the TexasBlueberryFestival.com site for updates and more information for all festival events.”

Looking for a fun summer activity for the whole family? How about an activity that is not only fun, but is also educational and local? Look no further than the Nacogdoches Summer Scavenger Hunt!

This year, eight tourist attractions will be participating in a scavenger hunt that will take place May 29th through August 21st.
