The Colony 75056

Weekend of May 1 - May 3, 2026

WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

Sunny and warm with highs in the mid-80s; brief afternoon clouds on Sunday.

Ongoing DNT widening near SRT continues to cause lane shifts; expect heavier surface traffic near Prestwick Elementary.

⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

Up, Up & Away Festival of Flight

Saturday, 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM

"It is a 75056 staple that avoids the high costs of commercial attractions while providing rare aerial entertainment (kite demos and birding) directly in the neighborhood."

PRO TIP: Park at the school's secondary lot early; the kite-flying area gets crowded by 4 PM, making it hard to launch larger rigs.
