Weekend of Apr 10 - Apr 12, 2026

WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

Mild and breezy. Highs in the mid-70s, lows near 55°F. Perfect festival weather with a 10% chance of a stray shower on Sunday.

The downtown core is fully pedestrianized for the Main St. Arts Festival, significantly shifting traffic patterns for the next 72 hours.

⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival

Friday afternoon (avoiding the Saturday evening crowds)

"It is the #1 rated arts festival in Texas. While it's crowded, the level of curated fine art and live jazz surpasses any other seasonal event in the 5-mile radius."

PRO TIP: Do not attempt to park north of 9th Street. Park at the T&P Station lot ($10) and take the free 'Dash' shuttle or the 10-minute walk up Jennings Ave to enter at the South End.
