Fredericksburg Fall Season… KICKOFF!

Fall in the Hill Country

October marks the start of the height of our tourist season in Fredericksburg and the surrounding areas, and for good reason.

When the summer heat dies down, Fredericksburg is revving up with all kinds of exciting festivals and events that you won’t want to miss! Our Oktoberfest, which has become a “can’t miss” celebration, kicks off the Fall season and every weekend thereafter has something worth doing going on.

Abundant May Flowers!

It goes without saying that flowers are worth a sightseeing trip to the Hill Country. Stay at Angels Above The Creek Lodge while you tour the local vineyards and the glorious Wildseed Farms site just down the road from us…

We often have fields of flowers in bloom for great photographic opportunities.  We also feature a live butterfly exhibit, known as The Butterfly Haus, and offer a stroll through The Meadows, our trial plot and research fields.  There’s always something going on at Wildseed Farms!  Check for a list of special events (click here)!

The blooming season for the lavender is mid May through late June. This year, the FREDERICKSBURG LAVENDER TRAIL is May 19 through June 30
