Sounds of Spring at Dallas Blooms

Sounds of Spring is the theme for the 2020 festival. For this, there will be six topiaries with each one representing an instrument – a piano, harp, violin, saxophone, guitar and bass – as well as a couple of musicians. Allied to this will be a series of cookery classes, and wine and beer pairings, book signings, as well as live entertainment.

There will also be a series of events specific to Easter, making this a great event to bring the kids along to.

Commencing the festival on 29 February will be the Dallas Blooms Kickoff Weekend and Blooms, Boots and BBQ fest in the main garden. This will feature line dancing lessons from the SMU Mustang Mavericks, and a These Boots are Made for Walking contest where the competitor with the most interesting pair of boots will strut off with a prize of four tickets for a concert.

Live music will feature the Lake Highlands Wranglers on the Saturday.

Dallas is not the only place to see spring blooms, read our previews of the Cherry Blossom Season Japan, and the National Cherry Blossom Festival, Washington DC.
