Spring Celebrations

ColorPalooza arrives each spring as one of the most family-friendly events on the Lewisville calendar. Admission is free, and visitors can watch skilled artists produce one-of-a-kind sculptures and paintings, take in colorful sidewalk chalk art, and participate in hands-on interactive exhibits. Some activities carry a small nominal charge, but the overall experience is remarkably accessible for families of any size. Details on dates and activities are posted on the Visit Lewisville events page.

St. Paddy’s Texas Style takes over Wayne Ferguson Plaza in Old Town Lewisville each March with live Irish music from local bands, food trucks serving Irish fare, arts and crafts vendors, and face painting for the kids. It has a genuine neighborhood-block-party feel that makes it a reliable early-spring outing before the Texas heat sets in.

Summer in Old Town: Sounds of Lewisville

If you have not yet made a Tuesday-night habit of heading to Wayne Ferguson Plaza in June or July, the Sounds of Lewisville Concert Series is worth putting on your regular rotation. The series runs every Tuesday evening throughout both months, features an eclectic mix of live music, and carries no admission charge. It is one of the more effortless ways to spend a weeknight outdoors in the heart of Old Town Lewisville, and the free format makes it easy to bring a group without any planning overhead. The Visit Lewisville annual events page keeps the lineup updated each season.

Fall Flagship Events

Lewisville Western Days is the city’s marquee fall event, taking place the last weekend of September — in 2026, that falls on September 25 and 26. Live music spreads across six stages, food trucks line the grounds, and western-themed activities run throughout both days. The event draws an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 attendees over the weekend, and the signature draw is the Padrino Foods World Tamale Eating Championship, which has become a genuine talking point among longtime residents. The City of Lewisville Special Events page has the most current information as each September approaches.

Best Little Brewfest in Texas is a craft beer festival unlike most, because every dollar of proceeds goes directly to charity through the City of Lewisville’s partnership with Cloud 9 Charities. More than 95 breweries and over 200 labels are represented, two stages host live bands, and food trucks round out the experience. For beer enthusiasts who also want their attendance to mean something beyond the pour, this one stands out on the regional festival circuit. Full details are available at cloud9charities.org.

The Lebanese Food Festival, presented by Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church in Lewisville, runs the first weekend of October — the 27th annual edition is scheduled for October 2 through 4, 2026. The food is the centerpiece: stuffed grape leaves, kibbi, falafel, tabbouli, kafta, and baklava prepared with genuine care. Live music, dancing, a silent auction, and family activities fill out the weekend. It draws visitors from across the Metroplex who make it a yearly tradition, and the community atmosphere around the church grounds gives it a warmth that larger commercial festivals rarely replicate. The festival maintains its own site at dfwlebanesefoodfest.com.

December: Holiday Stroll in Old Town

The Holiday Stroll closes out the city’s annual events calendar each December in Old Town Lewisville. Fireworks light up the sky, Christmas cheer fills the streets, and the event carries the same community-first spirit as the rest of the city’s signature programming. It is managed by the City of Lewisville’s Special Events division, which also oversees Western Days, Sounds of Lewisville, ColorPalooza, and St. Paddy’s Texas Style — so the production quality is consistent and reliable year to year.
