FAQs: "Is anything open on Sundays?"

We know... Saturdays can be a busy time at home and sometimes you don't get a break until Sunday. Fortunately things ARE open around Brenham/Washington County on Sundays! So come on over and take a casual stroll, or meet someone for lunch!

Several downtown Brenham shops are open (although not all of them - probably around eight or so). Typically they open at 12:30 or 1 and close at 4 or 5. Six of the eight downtown restaurants are also open (for lunch). Oh, don't forget about Home Sweet Farm Market, also in downtown Brenham! Local produce and many other edible and non-edible things, all locally made, are available for sale Sundays 11-4.

All three of our local wineries are open from noon to 5.

Chappell Hill Lavender Farm is also open Sunday afternoon March through October.


Independence, Texas, welcomes you with roses at the Antique Rose Emporium and also self-guided tours of Old Baylor Parks.

Washington-on-the-Brazos is open nearly every day of the year, so you can enjoy all three areas of the State Historic Site, both outside and in air conditioning! :-)

During certain times of the year we even have plays going on at Unity Theatre in downtown Brenham.

PLAY! If you've got little ones and you need an indoor activity to keep them stimulated, you could take them to Silver Wings to go roller skating, or Horseshoe Junction to play laser tag, mini golf and arcade games, or if all else fails you could see a movie at Westwood Cinema!

The outdoor pools at  Blue Bell Aquatic Center are open Sunday afternoons during the summer.

Corn maze design for 2013!

Coming up at the end of September will be a fun activity for the whole family! Brazos Valley Maize will be open on Sundays from 1-7pm (and Saturdays, too!). GET LOST with each other and have fun navigating the maze of corn higher than your head. You can also carve pumpkins, enjoy a campfire or hay ride, shoot the corn cannon and more!

If you like art, go to Round Top. Henkel and Bybee Squares have a number of unique shops and art galleries open on Sundays.

And don't forget, most of our events and festivals are on the weekends, usually taking up both Saturday and Sunday, so if none of the above interests you, check our calendar for the day you want to come over to see if anything special is going on!

See you soon!
