Prices run the gamut from under $50 to the $1000's. live music all weekend -great headliners at night. Festival open until 11pm but artists usually shut downaround 8. (they need their rest too) You can purchase tickets to buy food and drinks or hit one of the downtown restaurants.

I was bummed because that's the main reason for my visit. However, they have beers, wine, and other booths which offered different fairs like kettle corn, beignets(sold out too) turkey legs, pralines. Etc. Will I come back? Maybe. If I do if make sure to get there early.

Locals peddling thier products they have spent hours crafting with love to others in the community. And the city was so supportive of the vendors- the city employees working the event were constantly making rounds insuring everything was going well and the visitors were having a good time. The Mayor even came around and was shaking everyone's hand and taking selfies with the booth vendors. I see you, Mr. Mayor Jim. They had a ton of food and local bands/ performers as well. My favorite was Poly Hwy- go check them out on FB. They were Polynesian and had a very island-y vibe. It was the perfect chill music to have playing while you stroll around. John Tipton was second- dude if you are reading this- that was the best cover of Bad Leroy Brown ever! And all of this was FREE! Silver Dollar Winery was serving up vino- although I wish they would have had the frozen peachy wine slushie- hint hint for next year guys ;). Crazy Cowboy was smoking up a storm and slinging brisket sandwiches and Rahr beer. La Rosita truck was also there in case you had a hankering for a taco. Bedford is a hidden gem guys, real talk. It was a beautiful day and a great spot for all this fun. Bookmark this and meet me there next year!

The NTIF is the event that happens every March at Fair Park. I am really looking forward to spending the day in the historic Will Rogers Coliseum, listening to great music and having the chance to do some world-class people-watching! You don't want to miss this event. It is modestly priced, especially considering the quality, variety and sheer quantity of performers who will be present. If you are one of the 50,000 or so people who turn out every year to go to NTIF, then you are already in on the secret.....

The vendors in the vendor area were charging outrageous prices for what they were selling. Other than that there is really nothing to do but sit in a tent, drink a beer and sing German drinking songs. I have been to Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany many times, so I knew what to expect. My friend who thought going to Oktoberfest would be fun actually said to me, "Is this it?" Yes my friend this is all you get.

We had a lot of fun. It was a genuine Oktoberfest. Always a fun time when we come to Fort Worth.read more

Such a fun event. Its not a huge event but definitely a good size. I was expecting more BBQ type…read morevendors but the selection wasn't bad. Brisket, pulled pork or chicken sandwiches ranged from $6-$8. For those who aren't huge BBQ fans there are your traditional fair vendors with corn dogs, funnel cakes, etc. I wouldn't exactly say this is an overly kid friendly event. This is more for adults. The music was great and everywhere you looked people seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was hot out but no one seemed to let the heat dampen their fun. The non food vendors were probably the most interesting to see. There wasn't exactly a pattern in vendor types. They had everything from people selling spice rubs, scentsy, thrift store type clothing, childrens toys, insurance sales, and face painting. It was entertaining to walk by and glance at everything. This is definitely a fun event for groups or couples. If you aren't sitting in the VIP shaded areas, make sure to bring chairs or a blanket to sit on so you aren't stuck standing the entire time.

Haven't been in a number of years, and decided to check out this year's arts fest. Once finished…read moreexercising at the downtown YMCA, I simply walked over to Main Street. Don't think I spent a full hour looking at all the vendors, but I checked out each one and thoroughly enjoyed myself. A few of the vendors I recognized from years gone by. Others were brand new to me. For some reason, the flow of the event seemed better organized from what I remember. Or maybe it was because it was the first day of the event. Who knows? There were definitely less people out wandering around. Just wait until the weekend. Ha ha! Having formerly worked in downtown on Main Street, I swung by where the old shop was formerly located. After a few minutes of reminiscing, I continued on my way. In the end, the wares offered are a want and not a need, and certainly way out of my meager budget. I still enjoy looking at everything. There were also two bands performing, but I didn't feel like sticking around. May come back before the festival ends on Sunday.

Absolutely NOT worth it. I've gone twice--both times were a mistake. The line to get in is…read moreabsurd--we waited nearly 2 hours, stuck in a mess of oversold tickets and total chaos. The first time, our GPS said we were 1.4 miles from the entrance... that's how FAR back the line stretched not counting the winding roads after the entrance gate. Traffic management is nonexistent past the gate: no cones, no staff, just cars blocking intersections and nearly colliding in the dark. By the time you finally make it inside, you're shoulder-to-shoulder in a packed crowd, too stressed to enjoy the lights. Save your money and sanity. Go to a haunted house instead. At least the fear and stress there is intentional and a shorter wait time. I won't make the mistake of coming back ever in the future.

This festival was crapped on so bad after the first year and I'm glad they had a change of venue to…read morethe speedway. The pictures looked absolutely stunning and the lineup this year appealed directly to my taste in EDM so I had to check it out. Any festival with Porter, Borgore, Flux, 3LAU, etc in my backyard needs to be attended. The ticket price was extremely affordable for a two day festival ($115). I loved this festival! There was so much room to dance and I never felt claustrophobic like at Life in Color or some other festivals I've been to. The production was incredible. They don't just have LED screens or big LED screens, they arrange them in such a way for each stage that you could have the same artist playing at the two larger stages and get a completely different experience. The LED screens piece together to project different parts of one visual. It's pretty damn awesome. Sound quality was amazing. Large variety of food. Beer was quite pricey for an EDM festival (that being said while I expected pricey beer). Parking is $20 and the lot was extremely easy to get in and out of. There is a massive Buc-ee's across the street from the speedway so it was the perfect spot for post hangover food. There was a surprisingly large amount of out of staters here and it was nice meeting people from all over the states at this festival. It is growing larger every year and it's inspiring to see the rapid growth of EDM in Texas. I hope they one day put this inside the Speedway and we get a three day Texas EDC :) One can dream! As an aspiring DJ who started learning a few months ago, I can certainly say I would love to play this festival next year if I got good enough!
