Spring in Fredericksburg: Wildflowers, Wine, and Mild Weather
Spring is one of the most popular times to visit Fredericksburg — and for good reason. The Hill Country comes alive with vibrant wildflowers, especially the iconic Texas bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes, turning scenic drives and hiking trails into stunning photo ops. Daytime highs typically range from the low 60s to mid-80s, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring Enchanted Rock, vineyard hopping on the 290 Wine Road, or strolling through downtown.
Spring events include:
Lavender Festival at Becker Vineyards
Fredericksburg Spring & Summer Farmers Market
Fredericksburg Crawfish Festival (May)
This is a romantic and visually stunning time of year, perfect for couples looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by natural beauty. Booking a B&B during wildflower season adds charm and convenience to your stay — especially when it includes a gourmet breakfast to start your day.
Summer Fun: Peach Season, Outdoor Festivals, and Water Activities
While summer temperatures can climb into the 90s, Fredericksburg still offers plenty of ways to beat the heat. The biggest draw? Peach season. June and July bring an abundance of fresh Hill Country peaches, available at local orchards and roadside stands — a favorite experience for families and foodies alike.
Summer highlights include:
Gillespie County Fair – Texas’ oldest county fair with rodeos, music, and carnival rides
Live music and outdoor festivals across the region
Water activities like tubing, kayaking, or swimming in nearby lakes and rivers
While afternoons can be hot, evenings tend to cool off, making patio dinners, wine tastings, and stargazing a treat. Stay at a B&B just outside the bustle of Main Street for a peaceful retreat with air-conditioned comfort and wide-open views of the Texas night sky.
