The Festival runs from March 10-15 in Nederland and includes numerous pre-activities. A fun run is planned March 1, and a golf tournament tees off March 7.

A ribbon cutting is planned March 7 on the recently surfaced festival food booth grounds.

Organizers said there are still weeklong festival-ride passports available, which are always a big hit with children.
