37th Annual Oatmeal Festival
Oatmeal, Texas
August 29th and 30th, 2014

What began in 1977 as a good-humored bid to put  Oatmeal, Texas back on the map after state map-makers overlooked the teeny-tiny community, the festival has evolved into one of the wackiest, whimsical, small-town festivals anywhere!  Visitors from all over come to witness it "snowing" oatmeal and participate in crazy fun and events like:

• The Oatmeal Festival Fun Run - A 3.3-mile "Run-For-Your-Oats" begins under the water tower on Vaughan Street at 8:03 a.m. on August 30.  Bring you sugar and run for your oats!  Click here for more information.
  
• Oatmeal Festival Cook-Off - Contestants can enter their oatmeal cook-off dishes in 7 categories:  breads, cakes, pies, cookies, bars, snack mix, and low fat/low cholesterol.  Click here for more info.
• Oatmeal Festival Parade - The Grand Parade will wind its way through downtown Bertram.  Click here for more information.
• Oatmeal softball tournament.
  
• "Miss Oatmeal" pageant.
• Arts and Crafts.
• Zany games.
• Kids' events.
  
• Live Music and dancing.
• "Groaty Oats" contest.
