What March feels like
SXSW owns the middle of the month, downtown becomes impassable, and rooms cost triple. Bluebonnets peak on the Hill Country roads toward the end of March — drive the Willow City Loop, or just pull over on 290 like everybody else.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
