And, masks are encouraged when you move outside your circle. Coolers are allowed, with food, drinks and adult beverages. Wine and beer are sold here, too. After the sun goes down below the trees (about 8pm) it's fairly comfortable. We're definitely enjoying the show and will return for others.

There weren't a whole lot of people, but most likely because they are so new. There weren't some decent food specials for the World Cup viewing. Food was not bad. I really enjoyed the tacos. There was a lot of meat and it was pretty tasty. Fairly decent price at 2 tacos for $6. Wings were not bad either. I didn't play any of the games but saw a couple groups playing there.

The location is easy to find on the side of the huge Super H Mart mall. The food vendors really show out, by serving their best dishes. You use credit or cash to by tickets for food purchases. 2 hungry adults can fill up on about 15 tickets total. The tickets are $2 each. A glutton, like me, can expect to spend 15 tickets, alone - to get that warm, comfortable feeling. The atmosphere is happy and vibrant. There is also a stage, with constant music and entertainment. This is definitely an annual DFW, must-do event. Don't miss out next year!

Every year or so since they have improved the venue adding a much better permanent stage on north side providing Porta potties(had a 1 stall behind stage for many years-now bands dressing room. Have had lots of food trucks & farmers market in past but know because of covid they have one Mexican restaurant tent for food/wine/beer & a snow cone truck. This year had 2 bands from 6-10. There is lots of parking at the dart lot next door. This year they have a more secure entrance with no alcohol allowed so they check your coolers but can bring soft drinks/food in. Last night was their last concert for the summer. It is a fun evening out with lots of room and trees that provide quite a bit of shade. They have a couple metal tables but best to bring your own chairs/blankets.

All the vendors are local so you really do get a taste of Addison. There's one main stage and then two smaller stages on campus where performances are going on through the festival.

It's got to take supreme team work amongst the City Departments during this autumnal celebration of our musical performance environment in north Texas, where both of our great universities pitched in sending us some of the finest live performances, set up on seven different stages in different parts of the Civic Center Park. I was perhaps most impressed with the city's answer to clean up the party zones, which span the area of the grounds of the Emily Fowler Public Library to the walls that surround our iconic Public Swimming Pool, which has a beautiful connection between our individual swimming participants, who flock to the Bell Avenue, and Texas Woman's University-adjacent location. I am proud of my hometown and have generally been drawn into the hordes of people who come here from homes nearby and enjoy the atmosphere of Gemuetlichkeit (German for warmth of friendliness that comes from mutual community that accompanies the Oktoberfest season of harvest time. A mighty shout out to the fabulous Local Grammy Award winning nuclear polka group, Brave Combo, and specifically band leader and guitarist Carl Finch, who founded the band with North Texas State University Jazz Music legends, along with Bubba Hernandez and their trumpet player Danny. I am so blessed to have Denton, Texas as my hometown and this annual event is going to be continuing far, far into the future. A shout out to my companion for the closing act, the most excellent Little Jack Melody, who rocked the Festival Stage, next door to City Hall. Cheers, Mark C. Fearing, Ph.D. (ShredderV@aol.com).
