Nederland Heritage Festival

Whether it’s the smell of the food, the sight of the Ferris wheel, arts and crafts, car show, chili cookoff or the sounds of live music, the Nederland Heritage Festival is literally filled with entertainment for any age. And it’s an open space festival that is free to attend, which includes free parking. The annual festive jubilee welcomes 100,000 friends and neighbors not only from the Nederland area, but patrons from all around the state through March 17. This year’s theme – “Small Town, Big Festival.” Don’t forget about the annual parade that begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 16, at Nederland Avenue at 21st Street. Full details at nederlandhf.org.
