Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival | April 16-19

One of Fort Worth’s most anticipated events, the Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival transforms Downtown into a national art and entertainment hub. Stroll through Main Street to discover hundreds of artists, live music, family-friendly activities, and plenty of food and drinks. It’s a true celebration of creativity in the heart of the city.

Rooftop Happy Hours

Toast to spring at one of Downtown Fort Worth’s rooftop bars! Sip handcrafted cocktails while enjoying skyline views and warm breezes. Try Branch & Bird’s patio, The Sinclair’s stylish rooftop, Refinery 714’s popular wine hour, or The Annex at Le Méridien for a more upscale vibe. Cheers to patio season!

Visit Sundance Square Plaza

Spring is the perfect time to experience Sundance Square Plaza. Whether you’re two-stepping at dance lessons, enjoying live music, or browsing a pop-up market, there’s always something happening. Grab a coffee (or a cocktail), relax by the fountains, and soak in the lively Downtown atmosphere.

Explore the Fort Worth Water Gardens

Nestled in the heart of Downtown, the Fort Worth Water Gardens offer cascading waterfalls, peaceful pools, and unique architecture. Relax, take photos, and enjoy this free urban oasis, especially beautiful in spring weather.

Laugh Out Loud

Looking for a night of laughs? Downtown has two go-to comedy spots:

• Big Laugh Comedy – Featuring national touring comedians, themed shows, and interactive performances.
• Hyena’s Comedy Club – A longtime favorite with big-name headliners and rising local talent in a laid-back setting.

Live Performing Arts

Downtown Fort Worth is a hub for live entertainment, and spring is packed with performances:

• Bass Performance Hall – Home to Broadway at the Bass, symphony concerts, and touring productions.
• Circle Theatre – An intimate space for contemporary and thought-provoking plays.
• Jubilee Theatre – Celebrating African American culture and storytelling through powerful performances.

Escape Room Adventure

Mix things up with a brain workout this spring! Escape the Room is perfect for rainy days, team outings, or a fun night with friends. Work together to solve puzzles, crack codes, and beat the clock — teamwork, laughs, and bragging rights included.

Cowtown Cycle Party Ride

Grab a group and cruise Downtown on a rolling patio. The Cowtown Cycle Party is equal parts sightseeing, party, and workout, and one of the most unique ways to experience the city. Bring your favorite playlist, sip your drink, and wave to passersby as you roll through Downtown.

Paddle the Trinity River

Warm weather means it’s time to hit the water. TC Paddlesports offers kayak and paddleboard rentals so you can experience Downtown Fort Worth from the river. It’s peaceful, scenic, and a refreshing way to explore the city. It definitely beats staying inside on a beautiful spring day!
