Pictures: Fort Worth Main Street Art Festival

86notions — Thu, 16 Apr 2015 15:55:18 +0000

Over this last weekend, Fort Worth held it’s Main Street Arts Festival in Sundance Square. Running from the library all the way down to the doors or the Convention Center artists and artisan’s booths filled the square. Saturday was a great day for families and couples. Most impressive was the Fort Worth ISD students art works, they were unfortunately tucked up at the top of Main St and not all too easy to find. The search for them was more than worth the effort. A big shout-out to the staff and volunteers who brought the weekend together, the Fort Worth PD (awesome job) and all the stores and restaurants and their hard working staff members in and around the square.
