Springtime in Texas brings a breathtaking sight—rolling fields of bluebonnets blanketing the countryside. Nowhere is this more beautifully celebrated than in Ennis, Texas, home of the Ennis Bluebonnet Festival. Each April, thousands of visitors flock to this charming town to experience the official “Bluebonnet City of Texas”, where scenic wildflower trails and lively festivities create an unforgettable weekend. This year the Ennis Bluebonnet Festival will be held April 11th-13th.
At Collin Street Bakery, we love honoring Texas traditions, which is why we’re thrilled to introduce our DeLuxe® Fruitcake in a Collectible Bluebonnet Tin—a delicious nod to the Lone Star State’s most beloved bloom.
The Ennis Bluebonnet Festival: A Texas Treasure
For over 70 years, the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails have drawn nature lovers, photographers, and families eager to witness Texas’ iconic wildflower at its peak. The festival, held in historic downtown Ennis, is packed with live music, arts and crafts, food vendors, and plenty of bluebonnet-themed fun.
Explore the Scenic Bluebonnet Trails
One of the biggest highlights of the festival is the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails, the oldest and most well-known wildflower trails in the state. Every April, visitors can follow over 40 miles of mapped driving routes that weave through the rolling hills, open pastures, and country roads of Ellis County, creating a sea of vibrant blue. These trails are carefully maintained and updated each year, ensuring that travelers get the best possible views of the blooming bluebonnets. Whether you prefer a peaceful drive or want to stop for photos along the way, the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails provide an authentic Texas springtime experience.
