The Llano Earth Art Festival, better known as LEAF, is back, promising a weekend of unique natural art, the 2026 World Rock Stacking Championship, music, camping, vendors, workshops, and more.
The annual spring festival will take place Friday through Sunday, March 27-29, at Grenwelge Park, 199 E. Haynie Street in Llano.
LEAF, which began in 2015, is a one-of-a-kind festival that brings artists from around the globe to create art from natural materials – like rock, dirt, sand, leaves, and twigs – in and around the banks of the Llano River. Try your hand at rock stacking, the World Rock Stacking Championship is also a huge draw, bringing locals and visitors together to see who can stack the highest stone tower. The rock stacking competitions are open to amateurs and professionals.
Here is the rock stacking competition schedule for Saturday, March 28:
Arches at 11 a.m.
Quantity at noon
Height (junior) at 1 p.m.
Height (adult) at 2 p.m.
Balance at 4 p.m.
Adult and junior artistic competitions begin at 8 a.m. on Sunday, March 29. The Mandala Challenge runs all weekend.
Tickets to LEAF are $15 for single-day entry and $30 for full-weekend entry. Children 12-years-old and younger enter for free if accompanied by an adult.
