April 27
Midway Park,
300 W. Midway Dr.
Join the free fun at Arbor Daze, the ultimate family festival! There will be community entertainment, live performances, carnival rides, games, a drone show, a Kid Zone, bounce houses, tree giveaways and concessions.
There will be various food eating contests! Winners will take home some awesome prizes.
Bring your own lawn chairs and blankets for all of the live entertainment, including Benton Lawson (a local born Euless raised artist), a drone show, and more!
A 30+ year "Tree City USA" recipient, the City of Euless is proud of its many "tree-mendous" accomplishments promoting Arbor Day. Each attendee of the festival will receive a free tree. The urban tree canopy has been dwindling for decades, and the Arbor Daze Festival has given over 150,000 trees since its inception over 25 years ago. Most of these trees have been planted in the immediate area to replenish the local tree population.
For questions or for more information, please call 817-685-1666.
