For the 47th year, the Nederland Heritage Festival launches a week of family fun on Boston Avenue. The festival begins today and runs through Sunday.
The theme for this year’s festival is “2020 Our Vision is Clear.”
Many are looking forward to seeing all the nonprofit organizations selling food.
A new food court area this year eliminates the double, facing line of food vendors that made foot traffic difficult during peak attendance periods in past years.
A paved lot stretches the food options around a larger section of festival ground. Organizers have also brought in additional covered seating.
Carnival hours are 4 to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.
