The best little free music and arts fest in Texas returns in 2025! Two stages of live music and dance, with street performers, artist vendors, hands-on activities, arts competitions, food and more. We'll have a lot more to announce in the coming months but for now save the date and spend the whole weekend in Mansfield.
