Leander Bluegrass & Folk Festival - Friday, Oct 3 & Saturday, Oct 4, 2025
The sun dips low, families spread blankets on the grass, the air carries the rich twang of banjos and mandolins, and the Mason Homestead, usually quiet, becomes a stage for heart and harmony!
The 20th Annual Bluegrass & Folk Festival returns Friday, October 3 & Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 6:00-9:30 p.m. at Mason Homestead (1101 S. Bagdad Road) in Leander. Best of all — free admission, food vendors, a Fun Zone (will cost), and live music under the open sky.
Bring your chairs, your blankets, and maybe even your pup (on a leash, of course).
