The Gents Place Dallas - Uptown

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.

The Granada Theater must have been quite the spectacle when it first opened in the Dallas market on January 16, 1946, with the screening of "Mildred Pierce." Even today, it continues to impress with its stunning exterior adorned with neon lights that evoke the glitz and glamor of Hollywood's Golden Era. You'll find plenty of art deco designs inside and out, with rounded corners and linear accents that harken back to a bygone era. You will want to attend the main hall's original art murals, designed by the same artists behind Los Angeles's famed Grauman's Chinese Theater. These grand-scale murals depict various film genres, while the ceiling features a stunning mythological "film goddess" standing over a film reel. It's truly a sight to behold.
