Know Before You Go
Heightened Security during MAIN ST.
We are, of course, extremely sorry to hear of the tragic incident with regard to the Boston Marathon. Our hearts go out to all those affected by these circumstances and we are watching this situation closely. The City of Fort Worth Police, Fire and Emergency Management teams, working alongside our event staff and volunteers, are dedicated to making MAIN ST. safe for all who participate and attend. Please be alert and vigilant throughout your visit, and if you, "See something - Say something." For more information on our unified response, please click here.

Attendance is FREE
As always, it is FREE to attend the MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival. Browse art, listen to music and enjoy a variety of street performances at no charge. Certain activities (such as MAIN ST. Creates!) and food and beverages do require you purchase coupons from our conveniently located coupon booths.
Thursday through Saturday artists close at 8:00PM, and Sunday artists close at 6:00PM, so come early!
Free Water Stations
Leave your cooler of bottled waters at home. To help support and raise awareness for water conservation, the TRWD is sponsoring Free Water Stations around the festival. Simply bring your own water bottles and fill them up, or buy an aluminum water bottle at the festival for 9 coupons – it makes a great souvenir and you can refill it throughout the Festival.

Coupon booths accept cash, Visa, MasterCard and American Express. ATM Machines are located conveniently throughout the festival. Coupons are non-refundable.

Planning on munching with friends?
Buy your coupons in bulk and save. Purchase 24 strips (that's 240 coupons, enough to buy 30 funnel cakes, 40 Coors Lights or more turkey legs than you can shake a leg at), and save $.50 per strip. That's right - our 24 strip Munch Pack, regularly $240, can be bought for only $228, a savings of $12! Shipping is still free. Perfect for you, your extended family, all of your Facebook friends, employees or clients. Cash in on the savings and bring everyone Downtown!
Note: Sorry, but coupon purchases are non-refundable. Please plan responsibly.
Dog Safety! - Please, No Pets!
Unfortunately, MAIN ST. is not pet friendly. Pets are often intimidated by crowds and can react unpredictably. For the comfort and safety of all of our patrons, people with pets will be asked to leave the event area, which is enforced through city ordinance. All service animals are welcome.
Cycle to the Fest
Park your ride for free at our Bike Corral centrally located at 4th and Commerce. Open each day of the festival from 10:00am to 8:00pm (closes at 7:00pm on Sunday), brought to you by the Fort Worth Bicycle Association and Bicycle’s Inc Stores.
Check Parking and Street Closures
Nothing can be more frustrating than finding your normal route through downtown is closed off or detoured. Before you make your way down to the festival, please check the latest parking information and list of street closures.
