I was happy to see Deep Ellum brewery, Community Brewery, Whiterock Brewery, Tupps, and a few others. It was nice to meet the brew masters and learn a little history about each. This is a great events that reminds me of the GABF in Denver. If you haven't been then, I highly suggest you check it out. I never got the chance to try any of the food at the food truck because it was so cold outside and I didn't want to freeze while waiting for my food. I love that they offered free arcade games, however; I had a hard time beating them. They also offered different Uber codes for discounted rides for safe travels to and from the festival.

I'm not the healthiest eater all the time, but coming here is a great way to learn and try healthier options! There is an old quote out there that states: "Birds of a feather, flock together." So yes I do like hanging with healthier and open minded folks. Bookmarking it for my calendar for next year!

The vendors were plentiful this year too with a good variety. Everything wasn't all about being vegan (though a majority was) there were a lot of informative type booths as well. The food variety was awesome too. Who knew tofu could have so much flavor. The demo's were ok in the whole foods tent. A few audio issues and since I didn't have a program I had no clue what the speaker was talking about since I walked up mid-demo. A posted schedule would have been nice. I'm sure its was somewhere and I missed. Last but not least! The SHUTTLE BUS from the AAC was a life saver. Parking was a nightmare I didn't have because I rode the bus. #winning Overall great day!

Pros: - Food trucks - 2 for $10 wine served in collectible plastic wine glasses - indoor bathrooms in the AA Center - as a female I avoid porta-potties - AA center open for people to sit down & watch the performers on the big screen *great way to warm up & get away from the crowds for a bit* - live performers - fireworks lasted a long time & were so close - I've been to SF for NYE & I have to say Dallas, you win hands down on you're NYE fireworks display! Con: I agree with H.T.'s review that it was horrible that event organizers changed rules last minute. The website said backpacks were allowed, but were refusing to let my BF inside. Security said they received a paper the day of the event with rules changes for what people are allowed to bring. Security said his backpack was large and wasn't allowed in! Huh?!? It's a regular sized backpack? Mini backpacks went out in the 90s!! We took the TRE train and didn't have a car to place my BF's backpack anywhere. Finally convinced them to let us inside due to the unfair changing of rules hours before the event! **Hey organizers if you're going to change the rules, do so days in advance, not hours before the event!** TIP - Take public transportation! There's so many people that if you drive you'll need to rush out as the fireworks start or risk getting stuck in traffic.

It seemed like twice as many people this year than in 2010. Some of the pet peeves I had include: -Open mouth sneezers and coughers, which were plenty this day. -Food trucks were not very creative and missing some of their best options. -It may just be me, but once the fireworks show started, people wanted to get out as quickly as possible. I had to keep looking away to avoid people from running into me as I stared up in the sky. 10 minutes, that is all I ask. You aren't getting out of there anyway with all the traffic in the first place, so enjoy the show. -Too many people brought their babies in strollers. It's called sacrifice until they are old enough. Either way, I will be back for the food trucks next year, the music, and then I will walk home and watch the show on t.v.

The food is still the main draw, but it adds up fast. Most things are $12-$20 (and you have to use coupons), so your money goes quick. Go with friends and split everything if you actually want to try stuff. If you're coming for rides, you'll be disappointed. It's better to go on a day with a concert or the rodeo so it feels more worth it. Parking is ass and expensive. Take the train--it drops you right in front and saves you the headache.
