Mark your calendar for Kenedy’s 40th Annual Bluebonnet Days festival! This year, Bluebonnet Days will be held on May 11th & 12th. As Bluebonnet Days continues to grow and bring in additional attractions including additional vendors, a larger carnival, the growth of the IBCA sanctioned Triple Heat BBQ Cook-Off, and larger musical entertainment, the Bluebonnet Days festival has been relocated to the Karnes County Show Barn for 2018. The relocation of this event will allow for a more centralized and cohesive atmosphere and a family friendly and safer environment. The Kenedy Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and Executive Director, Jolene Terwilliger have been hard at work planning the details.
