SHOP, PLAY, STAY, DINE, EXPLORE & MORE, All Season Long!
Welcome to summer in Downtown Fort Worth. Whether you're escaping the heat or chasing it, Downtown is full of ways to enjoy the season. Grab your sunnies, queue the summer playlist, and let’s dive in.

SHOP | Find your summer style.
Stroll through Sundance Square to shop summer staples at Francesca’s, colorful accessories at Earthbound Trading Co., or new sunnies from Sunglass Hut. Ready to embrace your inner cowboy? Check out Parts Unknown for authentic Fort Worth western wear.

PLAY | Fun for the whole family!
Cruise the Trinity River by kayak, canoe, or paddleboard with TC Paddlesports at Panther Island. If dry land is more your thing, hop on a Cowtown Cycle Party tour (BYOB, of course) or book a ride with Cowtown Segway Tours and cruise through Downtown’s history, architecture, and murals.

STAY | Staycation or vacation, do it in Downtown Fort Worth!
There are so many great hotels to choose from in Downtown Fort Worth, you really can’t go wrong. But if you're looking to escape the Texas heat, nothing beats a poolside view. Cool off in style at Omni Fort Worth Hotel or Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown.

DINE | Leave the cooking to the pros!
From patio brunches to late-night bites, Downtown’s dining scene brings the flavor. Grab tacos and margaritas at Wild Salsa, enjoy classic favorites at Del Frisco’s Grille, or cool down with a sweet treat from Melt Ice Creams. Click here for all our Downtown dining options!

EXPLORE | There's something new around every corner.
From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, Downtown Fort Worth is full of ways to explore. Wander through the Fort Worth Water Gardens, then follow the Heritage Trails to discover the stories and statues that bring local history to life. Explore western art at the Sid Richardson Museum, and wrap up your day in Sundance Square, where dining, shopping, and people-watching all come with a side of Texas charm.

AND MORE | and more... and more!
The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Catch a movie under the stars with Rooftop Cinema Club or cool off indoors with a blockbuster at AMC Palace 9. Looking for something live? Enjoy live music performances in Sundance Square Plaza. See a show or symphony performance at Bass Performance Hall or enjoy powerful local productions at Circle Theatre and Jubilee Theatre, both just steps away. Don’t miss the Cliburn International Piano Competition (May 21–June 7, 2025), where the world’s top pianists compete right here in Fort Worth. Whether you're into film, theater, or live music, Downtown Fort Worth has it all.
This is your summer, Fort Worth. Make it unforgettable and make it Downtown.
