Weekend of Apr 17 - Apr 19, 2026

WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

Sunny and pleasant with highs near 78°F and lows around 58°F; light breezes throughout the weekend.

Massive foot traffic expected downtown due to major street closures for the large-scale arts festival on Main Street.

⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

Treasures from the Holy Sepulcher at the Kimbell

Friday Evening (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM)

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime global tour of 60+ gold and jeweled objects that have never left Jerusalem before. Friday evening offers half-price admission and a quieter atmosphere than the weekend crowd."

PRO TIP: Park in the underground garage at the Piano Pavilion; it is cooler and usually overlooked by visitors parking on the street.
