The most famous festival taking place in the city can be safely called the State Fair of Texas, which starts in late September and lasts until mid-October. Fair Park is the venue of the fair. At this time, Dallas is visited by approximately 3 million people. It is traditionally called Big Tex after its symbol - a 17-meter-tall cowboy figure. Apart from shopping, here is an opportunity to ride the rides, attend workshops, art exhibitions, listen to music, and taste the local cuisine. The opening ceremony will be remembered for a long time - the fair's program includes costumed processions along the main city streets.
The name of another musical event is the Homegrown Festival, and it takes place in the middle of Street Garden. The event is focused on indie rock and underground. Arriving in Dallas in mid-October, you can witness such an event as the Lamar Street Festival. As you might guess from the name, it is held on Lamar Street. The program offered to the audience includes the opening of an art exhibition, tasting local dishes, film shows, listening to musical performances. The event is joined by restaurants located on the same street, offering to try specialties prepared especially for the festival.
