**ONE WEEK UNTIL THE OATMEAL FESTIVAL!**

Have you been thinking about joining one of the day’s favorite activities? **Now’s the time to get registered!**

Whether you’re ready to run, roll, or parade through downtown, pre-registration helps you get the most out of your festival experience:

**RUN FOR YOUR OATS — 3.3 MILES** Get your race plans in place, avoid the higher late-registration fees, and have the best chance of receiving a festival shirt. *(Shirts are not guaranteed for late registrations.)*

**GRANDE PARADE ENTRY** Want your entry included in parade judging and announced by the MC as you pass the stage? **Pre-register to be part of the planned parade lineup!**

**CAR SHOW** Pre-register to be included in judging and have your vehicle placed near similar car groupings. Day-of entries are welcome, but they will not be judged and placement will be random.

**Find registration links and participation details:** https://oatmealfestival.org/participate/

**Saturday, September 26, 2026**
**Historic Downtown Bertram, Texas**
**Don’t just watch the fun — be part of it!**
