Spanning more than 27 city blocks, Main Street will spotlight 213 hand-selected artists, showcase hundreds of performers across four stages, feature authentic Texas cuisine, and provide arts and crafts activities the whole family can enjoy.
Main Street is produced by Downtown Fort Worth Initiatives Inc. and is free to the public. Festival hours:

April 22, 10 a.m.-11 p.m.

“Over the past 32 years, Main Street has evolved into one of the most distinguished and well-attended arts festivals in the country,” said Becky Renfro Borbolla, chairman of the Festivals and Events Committee for Downtown Fort Worth Initiatives Inc. “We’re eager to see this year’s festival transform downtown into an outdoor gallery and stage, packed with fine art, food, music and cowboy culture.”
