That’s right! You don’t have to wait till the State Fair of Texas comes to town, starting today through Saturday, the city is celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Centennial Exposition with a free, four-day festival.
During the anniversary celebration, the public can experience the park’s museums and exhibits at no charge and free rides on the Ferris Wheel! We also learned that a fan favorite, Fletcher’s will be on hand to serve up tasty corn dogs (those aren’t free). You can find the daily schedule of events here.
The event includes:
- a concert performance from the Dallas Symphony Orchestra,
- jazz from local musicians,
- featured performances from Brave Combo, the Quebe Sisters and The Mavericks,
- games on the Midway,
- free Ferris Wheel and Tower rides,
- kids’ activities,
- fireworks,
- a memorable exhibit highlighting the park’s history,
- a wine stroll throughout the park,
- a Speakeasy party … and more!
