Break out the cowboy boots and head to Historic Downtown Carrollton to celebrate the 10th annual TEXFest, a free celebration of Texas Independence Day. This Texas-sized festival features craft beer, good grub, and local artists performing Texas music. Attendees are invited to ride on a mechanical bull, capture the moment by taking a photo with a live Texas longhorn, or kick back and relax with an afternoon of two-stepping and lawn games.
This year’s headliner, the Dan Johnson Band, will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. The West Texas-based Tejano band, Asalto, will take the stage from 5:30-7 p.m., and Americana singer-songwriter Timothy James will kick off the beginning of the live performances. DJ FLEXXAS will entertain crowds before and between sets with his blend of classic country hits blended with disco, house, and EDM.
This year’s event sponsors include Just 4 Kids Urgent Care. For more information, including activities, food and craft vendors, participating breweries, and entertainment details, visit cityofcarrollton.com/TEXFest.
