Your go-to guide for making the most of the season in New Braunfels

Spring is one of the best times to be in New Braunfels, and there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy it before the summer crowds roll in. From egg hunts and live music to festivals, river floats, and outdoor adventures, something is happening nearly every weekend.

We just published a guide presented by our partners at Mayfair that rounds up some of the best ways to get outside, explore, and take full advantage of the season.

Stretch, sip, and laugh your way through a unique outdoor experience

If your typical weekend routine needs a little upgrade, this might be it. Goat Yoga and Mimosas is happening in Gruene, combining a guided outdoor yoga session with playful baby goats and a mimosa to top it off. With two sessions available, you’ve got a couple chances to jump in on the fun.

Held under the oak trees at Barbelles Boutique, this event is all about having fun, trying something different, and not taking yourself too seriously. Just bring a mat, wear something you don’t mind getting a little messy, and enjoy the chaos.

If your yard isn’t exactly “run-around-barefoot ready,” now’s the time to fix it. Weeds are popping up, temperatures are rising, and what you do now makes all the difference heading into spring and summer.

Turf Masters helps New Braunfels homeowners grow thicker, healthier lawns using all-natural Bio Green liquid fertilizer, along with treatments for weeds, pests, and overall soil health. It’s not just greener grass, it’s a yard you’ll actually want to use.

Why it matters more than you might think for the future of the area

Canyon Lake has seen some major ups and downs over the past couple of years, and while levels briefly rebounded after last summer’s Hill Country floods, they’ve started to drop again, now sitting below 60% capacity. For a fast-growing area like New Braunfels, that’s more than just a number, it’s something that impacts long-term water supply, local businesses, and everyday life.

With continued growth and ongoing drought conditions, water conservation and awareness are becoming more important than ever. From understanding current restrictions to exploring solutions like rainwater collection, it’s something every local should keep an eye on.

DID YOU KNOW?

The New Braunfels Public Library didn’t even have a building when it started. It was founded in 1928 by a group of residents who organized at a private home and built the first collection through a “book shower,” where locals donated books to get it off the ground. What began in a single room and a $1 yearly subscription has grown into the full library system the community enjoys today.

WEATHER FORECAST 

Thursday: High: 89º | Low: 64º | 20% chance of precipitation

Friday: High: 87º | Low: 56º | 25% chance of precipitation

Saturday: High: 74º | Low: 54º | 5% chance of precipitation

Burn Ban: ON

Water Restrictions: Stage 2 (In Stage 2, watering with a sprinkler or irrigation system is allowed one day per week based on the last digit of your address BEFORE 10:00 a.m. and AFTER 8:00 p.m.)

More and more New Braunfels locals are making the switch to a more personalized approach to healthcare. Dr. Jason Nelson, who has served the community for over 25 years, now leads an MDVIP-affiliated practice focused on prevention, deeper relationships, and giving patients more time with their doctor.

It’s a model built for people who want better access, clearer insight, and a true partner in their long-term health, not just quick visits and rushed appointments.
