🌞 Your Boerne Weekend Game Plan: German Festivities, Tiki Vibes, and Moondance Magic

Let’s be honest—if you’re still sitting at home this weekend claiming “there’s nothing to do around here,” you might be living under a rock… or worse, stuck endlessly scrolling your phone in the H-E-B parking lot.

Luckily, Boerne’s coming in hot with not one, not two, but three legitimately awesome events this weekend (June 13–15). Whether you’re craving bratwurst and yodeling, sipping rum under string lights, or swaying under the stars to live music, we’ve got your weekend lineup right here.

🎉 1. Das Festival of Kendall – June 13–15

📍 Downtown Boerne – Main Street & Main Plaza

Boerne’s German roots get the full spotlight this weekend with the return of Das Festival of Kendall, and it's shaping up to be part Oktoberfest, part small-town charm, and all Texas Hill Country.

✅ What to expect:

  • A big Saturday parade (10 AM sharp!) led by none other than Bill Goldberg—yes, that Goldberg

  • Dachshund races, stein-holding contests, watermelon-eating competitions, and yodeling (because of course)

  • German food, local vendors, live music, and community fun all weekend long

🧠 Pro Tip: Come early, bring lawn chairs, and stake out a shady spot for the parade. And maybe practice your yodel.

🌴 2. Bettina’s Sailing Club – Pop-Up Tiki Bar

📍 Downtown Boerne – Main Street

Feeling tropical? Skip the flights and sunburn—Bettina’s Sailing Club has turned Main Street into a cheeky island getaway.

✅ What’s going on:

  • Rum cocktails and rotating daiquiris ($10 a pop) served in a thatched-roof atmosphere that screams “vacation mode”

  • Chill Sunday happy hours with live music

  • Bonus events like guest bartenders, mosaic art nights, and a surprisingly Instagram-worthy setup

🍹 Pro Tip: This is adults-only, so leave the kids at home, sip slow, and try not to order a drink based solely on the umbrella.

🌙 3. Moondance Concert at Cibolo Nature Center – Saturday, June 14

📍 140 City Park Rd, Boerne
🕖 Gates open at 6 PM | Music from 7–9 PM

It’s not just live music—it’s live music under the stars, surrounded by towering cypress trees and trails. This week’s Moondance concert features Andy Davis, and it’s shaping up to be the most peaceful party you’ll find this side of the Guadalupe.

✅ What to bring:

  • Blankets, lawn chairs, a cooler (BYO snacks and drinks welcome)

  • $15 cash (or card), kids under 11 are free

  • A relaxed vibe and appreciation for acoustic tunes and Hill Country skies

🧺 Pro Tip: Show up early, walk the trails, grab a bite from the food truck, and stay for the music. This is date night or friend hangout perfection.

🗓️ Quick Recap:

Date Event Location
Fri–Sun Das Festival of Kendall Main Plaza, Boerne
Sat (6/14) Moondance Outdoor Concert Cibolo Nature Center
Sun (6/15) Bettina’s Pop-Up Tiki Bar w/ Live Music Main Street, Boerne

So yeah—get out of the house this weekend. You don’t need to drive to Austin or San Antonio for a good time. Boerne’s got you covered with bratwurst, beach vibes, and moonlit melodies.

See you out there. I’ll be the one holding a brat in one hand, a tiki drink in the other, and bobbing my head to acoustic guitar under a tree.
