In April you will find the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails. Known as The Bluebonnet City of Texas, our rich green fields turn vibrant blue each Spring. The oldest mapped Bluebonnet Trails in the State of Texas are highlighted by the Ennis Garden Club's many booths and activities.
During Memorial weekend, our large Czechoslovakian population hosts the National Polka Festival with a parade, colorful costumes, street dancing, mouthwatering Czech food and desserts, and traditional Polka bands.
In December, Ennis displays its holiday
spirit with many activities starting with the 1st Thursday of
December. The lighted Christmas
parade, sponsored by the Ennis Chamber of Commerce, is held on this Thursday
and has become a family favorite. Visitors
and locals alike enjoy the sparkling lights of Ennis throughout the downtown
area and in surrounding neighborhoods.
In October, the Autumn Days in Ennis Fall Festival, has become a favorite family event. Held annually on the 3rd Saturday of October, this festival offers great food, arts and crafts, children’s activities, live entertainment, and much more! Come celebrate the changing of the season at this great event.
Adding to the charm of Ennis is the Railroad & Cultural Heritage Museum, housed in a former Van Noy Restaurant building circa 1915. The museum includes a large display of early Ennis, exhibits of our heritage, and reproduction dispatch, telegraph, and ticket office. A short film chronicles the history of Ennis from settlement to the present day.
