Charlie and I are planning our weekend events and I thought I would share the events I have found that I thought you might like to check out as well. The Weekend Events For April 12th will be a lot of fun and a lot of them are free to get into.
Main St. Fort Worth Arts Festival is one event I can’t wait to attend ever year and I’m so glad David is off on Sundays because we can spend the whole day and not be rushed.
Main St. Fort Worth Arts Festival spans more than 27 city blocks, Now, calm down you don’t have to freak out. You don’t have to walk all of the festival.
Although you should make the most of your time by heading toward the northern end by the courthouse for MAIN ST. Creates – Maker Zone, the newly revamped kids’ area that focuses on invention and innovation.
Free festival admission. Some activities require coupons.

MUSIC CHANGE FOR FRIDAY EVENING: Jenny and the Mexicats unfortunately are unable to perform Friday evening at the Sundance Square Stage.
I wanted to let you know on Friday evening Columbian funk band Superfonicos will perform in their place. Show starts at 9:00 PM. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
I wish I could say we would be attending the Concerts because my family loves listening to new Artist but David has to get up early on Saturday morning so we will be setting the Concerts out this year.
