BudaFest
December 6 & 7, 2008
The first weekend in December has meant one thing in
Buda for over 20 years. Budafest!
The festival kicks off on Saturday morning at 10:00am with
a parade. You'll see local celebrities, marching bands, homemade
floats pulled on flatbed trailers behind pick-up trucks, veterans groups -
all following the flag in a joyful procession down Main Street.
The greenbelt by the library in downtown Buda fills up with
more that 125 artisans selling handcrafted items of every type -
jewelry, candles, holiday decorations, salsas, woodcrafts, pottery, and
soaps - to name but a few. Local churches and youth organizations
sell many different kinds of food - from fajitas and tamales to baked potatoes and
turkey legs.
Entertainment is a big part of
Budafest. The stage by the gazebo showcases performance
throughout each day; country & pop singers, young ballet dancers, puppet
theater, choirs, fiddlers, and guitarists. Children can visit with
Santa Claus and get their picture taken with him. A full carnival
with rides and games sets up across the street at the city park, offering
something for everyone from the little toddler to the fearless daredevil.
Visitors can try their luck at games of skill while munching on popcorn or
cotton candy.
The festival runs from 10:00am until 5:00pm,
Saturday and Sunday on the first weekend in December. There is ample
street parking as well as a shuttle bus from outlying parking lots. We hope you plan to attend.
