September 25, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The museums and Fort Worth Community Arts Center in the Fort Worth Cultural District are happy to announce the fifth annual Day in the District, a celebration of the rich and diverse cultural organizations in Fort Worth, with exciting, entertaining, and interactive programming and performances for all ages. The museums will offer free admission to exciting exhibitions, and various performing arts organizations from Fort Worth will offer free performances in and around the museums. Outdoor performances and events encourage patrons to walk through the beautiful grounds surrounding the museums. This festival is designed to invite local residents to enjoy the world-class cultural experiences offered every day in Fort Worth. It also provides an opportunity for those who are not aware of the various organizations in our community to discover something wonderful and new.
