Are you looking for things to do in Waxahachie this weekend, or maybe the week to come?
The next seven days look to be mostly sunny with little chance of rain. Wildflowers are blooming all around, and if you plan on growing a little of your own food, now is an optimum time to start a garden as soil temperatures are beginning to warm up to germination level. If you live in an apartment with a balcony or don’t enjoy the back-breaking work of tilling up a spot, you’d be amazed by how much can be harvested from a tomato plant, a bell pepper plant, or even watermelon vines grown in a large pot.
If you’re looking for things to do in and around Waxahachie this weekend and beyond, here’s a list of the best of what’s happening for May 9-15, 2025.
