The 3-mile Lake Pflugerville Trail that encircles lovely Lake Pflugerville is an easy favorite. And visitors and locals love the Pflugerville Hike and Bike Trail, a scenic 7.4-mile out-and-back path that connects Bohl's Park to Northeast Metro Park.

Warm and welcoming, Pflugerville hosts vibrant festivals that celebrate its diverse culture. At the annual Slice of Pflugerville, see indigenous dance performances, hear live music and sample sumptuous local cuisine. Music lovers are never bored in Pflugerville with regular outdoor concerts series like Music in the Park and Rock the Block. Celebrate the holidays in Texas-sized style with Red, White and Boom at Typhoon Texas/Independence Day Pfireworks, a dazzling fireworks show held adjacent to Typhoon Texas Waterpark. And during the Christmas season, enjoy the Pfestival of Lights & Christmas Parade complete with the lighting of the official Christmas tree and an epic parade filled with colorful floats.
