Tomball Blue Grass Festival Closes Out Successful Festival Season

TOMBALL, TX -- The 5th annual Tomball Bluegrass Festival closed out the City’s 2016 fall festival season with big numbers. More than 3,800 Bluegrass music lovers stretched from the historic downtown depot half way to Cherry Street, two blocks away, for an afternoon of true Americana under a cloudless Texas sky.

David Davis & the Warrior River Boys, Chris Hirsch & the Lone Star Bluegrass Band, Bordertown Ramblers, and Chris Henry performed from the main stage, as dozens of pickers filled the courtyard at Granny’s Korner for the “Shade Tree Jam”. Bluegrass performers “Pine Island Station” and friends even showed up for an impromptu performance beneath the trees around the Depot Plaza fountain.

The Tomball Bluegrass Festival was sponsored in-part by Community Impact News and K-Star 99.7 FM.

The City of Tomball’s next event is the traditional holiday festival, “Christmas on Commerce”, Saturday, December 10, 2016 in downtown. Meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, get creative in Santa’s workshop of holiday crafts for kids, then enjoy the food, vendors, live entertainment, and more from noon to 5:30 on Commerce Street.

Tomball is just 28-miles northwest of downtown Houston on FM 2920 at Highway 249. Call 281-351-5484 or visit tomballtx.gov for more information. “Like” Tomball on Facebook at “Tomball Texan For Fun”.
