Marble Falls
3-5 Oatmeal Festival

Bertram is perhaps best known for its Oatmeal Festival held each year on the Friday and Saturday before Labor Day (September 3, 4 & 5, 2010). Begun in 1977 as a good-natured attempt to put neighboring Oatmeal back on the map after state map-makers ignored the tiny neighboring community, the festival has evolved into one of the wackiest, most imaginative small-town festivals anywhere. In 2010, Bertram celebrates 33 years of craziness and fun, and as always, it will actually "rain" oatmeal during the parade!

Because the festival is sponsored by Three Minutes Brand Oats, every event starts at 3 or 33 minutes past the hour. The festival begins on Friday night with a BBQ dinner and the Miss Oatmeal Pageant in Oatmeal. A trail-ride moves the festivities to Bertram on Saturday, which includes a fun-run, parade, cook-off, zany games, food, and arts and crafts, Mutton Busting and more.
