A new decade begins! On Saturday morning, March 29th, Zilker Botanical Garden will open its gates for our 5lst Annual Zilker Garden Festival. Plan to arrive early and bring your wagon! With over 100 vendors selling plants, garden accessories, herbal products, jewelry, art, and food, there will be something for everyone. Take a chance and buy a raffle ticket to win a great item donated by local merchants and garden clubs - airline tickets, electronics, gardening items, bicycle, and much more.

Last year’s Joys of the Garden Talks received rave reviews. So join us under the big white tent outside of the auditorium for noted speakers who will share their gardening knowledge.

The C3 Presents soundstage makes an encore appearance in the Rose Garden, where festival visitors can enjoy a variety of live music. Kid’s Corner engages young ones in a variety of fun activities…from face painting to building birdhouses. Look for their new location in the Rose Garden. Food vendors and picnic tables are located in Pioneer Village.

Please note that dogs are not allowed on the grounds during the festival. The grounds will be closed to the public and to photographers all day Friday, March 28th in preparation for Zilker Garden Festival.

As always, a big “Thank You!” to C3 Presents, Austin’s Parks & Recreation Dept., the PARD staff at Zilker Botanical Garden, AAGC Festival Volunteers, and other generous sponsors for making the Zilker Garden Festival a great Austin event!
