Festival Founder Tom Burkett’s effort to revitalize Downtown Cleburne has produced remarkable results, his real estate portfolio includes 10 historic commercial buildings in Downtown Cleburne that have been completely renovated under his direction. Visitors can now spend the day in one of eight downtown shops, an art gallery and a concert venue – all on the same block, Downtown East Cleburne! This block showcases this collaborative business community and consistent foot traffic proves Tom's ability to create innovative, vibrant cultural spaces.
