If you're a fan of Bluegrass, the Bloomin' Bluegrass Festival is an event you won't want to miss. With two stages and two full days of traditional and progressive Bluegrass, as well as Americana and country sounds, there's something for everyone. And if you're lucky, you might even stumble upon one of the impromptu jam sessions that happen throughout the festival grounds. These jam sessions are always organic and full of talented musicians eager to share their love of Bluegrass. But that's not all the festival has to offer. You'll also have the opportunity to take up-close photos of the beautiful varieties grown in Farmers Branch. And of course, no festival would be complete without delicious food options. You can indulge in local favorites like Mex-Mex, corny dogs, roasted corn, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and more. And if you're looking for something to wash it all down, there's a great selection of premium and local craft beers, wines, and frozen wineries to choose from.

Visit the Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe, a stunning Victorian Gothic cathedral undergoing a complete restoration to bring it back to its original splendor. This Shrine is the second-largest congregation in the entire nation. While there, you can learn about the essential themes of Catholic Social Tradition, centered around the universal principles of human dignity, the common good, subsidiarity, and solidarity. It's truly a wonderful experience that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy.
