Blanco is a riverside Hill Country hub with an easygoing cadence and room to breathe. Set along the Blanco River and US 281, the city offers quick drives to Austin and San Antonio, while keeping its roots firmly in Blanco County. The historic square frames daily life, anchored by the Old Blanco County Courthouse, where weekend markets, live music, and community events spill into walkable blocks of galleries and eateries.
Outdoor time comes naturally: swimmers and paddlers head to Blanco State Park for spring-fed stretches of the river, shaded picnic spots, and year-round fishing. Local flavor runs deep at Real Ale Brewing Company, known for brewery tours and seasonal releases, and two-stepping tradition lights up the calendar at the Twin Sisters Dance Hall. Each summer, the city celebrates the lavender bloom with a festival that draws makers and growers from across the region.
