Fun Things to do in Fort Worth

Erin Arnim

Have you ever wondered what fun things you can do around Forth Worth? Well if you have, you’ve come to the right place. I will now tell you about a few of the best events found right here in Fort Worth (in no particular order).

1.  Mayfest

Mayfest is a festival located along the Trinity River. It raises money by selling tickets for festival entrance and coupons for food and drink. This money goes toward keeping the Trinity River and park clean. Not only is there yummy food such as corn dogs, turkey legs and gyros there is amazing entertainment from local bands and singers, artwork that you can buy and exciting events such as Twiggy the skiing squirrel. Mayfest is held every first weekend in May. Luckily for you, it has not yet occurred this year. You still have a chance to go April 30^th-May 4^th.

2. Main Street Arts Festival

Sadly, Main Street has already come and gone this year, but I highly recommend going next year April 14^th-17^th. This festival is located in Downtown Fort Worth. It has wonderful food such as corn on the cob, funnel cakes, crawfish and chocolate covered cheesecake. Even though the food is good, the main reason to go is to look at and buy the wonderful art by professional artists featured in booths surrounding the downtown streets. Not only is there food and the art, Main Street also provides you with the opportunity to explore Downtown Fort Worth!

3.  Fort Worth Food & Wine Festival

Like Main Street, the FWFWF has already past this year. Next year it will be March 31^st-April 3^rd. This festival honors cooking, food, beverage and culinary expertise in the local community. It also helps bring attention to all of the wonderful food opportunities that Fort Worth holds. In addition it raises funds or culinary education scholarships and grant programs.
