Kitty & Co

If you're a fan of cutting-edge films, videos, and documentaries, you won't want to miss the annual four-day Dallas VideoFest every Fall at several venues. The festival is open to professional and non-professional filmmakers and specializes in independent, alternative, and non-commercial media. You'll  see hard-to-find works that are rarely seen on television, in movie theaters, or elsewhere, despite their artistic excellence and cultural and social relevance. It's a great opportunity to discover new and exciting voices in the world of film and media.

Explore Cedar Hill State Park, a stunning urban nature preserve where you can take in breathtaking views of the limestone hills and rare prairie pockets or relax by the picturesque Joe Pool Lake. Plenty of outdoor activities exist, including mountain biking, bird watching, hiking, jogging, boating, fishing, and swimming. Bring your family to hike, bike, picnic, camp, geocache, and nature watch. You can even spend the night at one of the 350 developed campsites, all near restrooms with hot showers. All sites have water and electricity, and several are ADA-accessible.
