Searching for things to do in Fort Worth just got easier this summer. We offer a free weekly concert series with a cool twist - an outdoor live music venue and waterfront stage right on the Trinity River with the gorgeous backdrop of downtown Fort Worth. Enjoy the show from a tube or the shore for a uniquely-Fort Worth music experience!
The Fort Worth music venue is located at 395 Purcey Street, Fort Worth, TX 76102. Parking is $10 and located in the grassy lot by the festival. Click here for directions.

All children 12 years old and under must wear a life jacket while in the water. Life jackets will be available on site, free of charge (generously provided by Tarrant Regional Water District).
Bands will perform rain or shine. In the event of river conditions that prevent tubing, attendees will be instructed to shelter in their cars until conditions are safe.
NO! Six-pack coolers are generously provided, but must be returned at the end of the night. Outside coolers, beverages, and food are NOT ALLOWED on-site. Anyone who breaks this rule or is caught sneaking this stuff in, will be asked to leave the event.

YES, but they must be on a leash at ALL TIMES! And please, please, please - scoop your critter’s poop. No one wants to step in your dog’s business. Also consider the noise level when bringing your furry friend, loud noise may scare your dog and cause them to run away.
Because these events are funded by public dollars and production costs are rising, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the post-event fireworks display this year. This cost-cutting move was needed to ensure we could bring you a full season of music and fun on the Trinity River this summer.
