Mayfest has a long, rich history of serving the Fort Worth community.
The festival began in 1973 as a celebration of the beautification and improvement of the Trinity River and greenbelt.
Mayfest has now evolved into a four day family festival. The festival includes an Art & Gift Market, Children’s Area, Riverbank Area, Sports Area, The Zone (Teen Area), the Mayfest Run, Special Needs Day, Senior Citizen’s Day, Military Day and tremendous music and dance entertainment on seven different stages. There are a number of special attractions, free activities and a delectable offering of food and beverage. From young to old, Mayfest includes something for everyone and strives to entertain the entire family.
For 37 years Mayfest has been proud to be a part of the greater Fort Worth community.
From all of us at Mayfest, thank you for your support and patronage.
