🎃 HAIKU HALLOWEEN, CITY HALL STYLE! 👻

We've got costumes, candy, and just a little City Hall craziness today! But now we want to see YOUR creativity!

We're challenging you to write a Halloween haiku with a Dripping Springs twist! It can be spooky, silly, sarcastic, or downright hilarious. Traffic, growth, night sky, wishes for the city, construction... the good, the bad, the ugly: nothing is off-limits but keep it kind and respectful... or we'll GHOST you! 👻 😂

Need inspiration? Here's ours:

Traffic crawls through town
Zombies blame the City staff
We just work here, folks!

Now it's YOUR turn! Drop your best Halloween haiku in the comments below. Remember, a haiku has three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern.

🏆 Our favorite will win a Dripping Springs gift pack filled with local goodies!

Let the hauntingly hilarious poetry begin!

Have a safe Halloween! 🎃💀

HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND! The Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival is a 3-day event that treats music lovers to a wide variety of amazing songs and the people and stories behind the finely crafted tunes.

TRAFFIC ALERT: for the safety of those attending, Mercer Street is ONE-WAY TRAFFIC today. Eastbound Mercer Street from 290 to Rt. 12 is closed. The westbound lane is open to one-way traffic, but please use caution when traveling west on Mercer Street.

The Festival gives attendees the opportunity to experience tomorrow’s headliners in small-stage "listening room" performances at unique venues in historic downtown Dripping Springs. On 8 stages, featuring 70 shows, 40+ songwriters will perform in an “in the round” Nashville-style song-swap format. In its essence, the Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival is all about finely crafted songs and the talented folks who have written them. The best part? All shows downtown are FREE!

Be sure to follow for lineup and other information on the Fest!

LIGHTS OUT, DRIPPING SPRINGS!

Did you know 1 out of every 3 birds migrating through the U.S. passes through Texas? Most migratory birds fly at night, meaning the bright lights of commercial and residential buildings attract and disorient birds. This distraction can cause collisions and leave birds vulnerable to threats on the ground.

Take action to protect migrating birds by turning out all non-essential lights outside and inside from 11 pm - 6 am from August 15 - November 30, and especially during Peak Migration from September 5 - October 29. 🐦‍⬛
