The city of Buda hosted its annual Buda Birthday Music Festival Saturday, April 5. In addition to a carnival, vendors and birthday cake, musical acts, such as James McMurtry, graced the stage all afternoon and into the night. Attendees had the opportunity to sign a giant birthday card, pictured left and right, for the city, created on the spot by a local artist.
