 | |  |  | Enjoy Main Street Days | Tip Rating:      |  |  | |  |
The small community of Grapevine, Texas celebrates Main Street Days each year in May. Artisans, food vendors, all types of entertainers and festival goers make this an annual event. We attended Main Street Days for the first time this year and hope to return next year for the fun! The entire main street was blocked off to create a pedestrian mall which was packed with booths offering hot dogs, ice cream, funnel cakes, Icees, Kettle Corn, bbq's and other tasty snacks. Artisans were eager to sell their hand painted leather belts, goat's milk soap, pottery,sterling silver jewelry, watercolors, photography and many, many other creations. A special area for children provided games, rock climbing wall, bouncing attractions and a petting zoo. The accompanying photo shows just how much fun these kids had---WOW! A gunfight even broke out at different times during the event and a Clydesdale horse was on hand to meet the children. Some folks were even brave enough to try the bunjee jump! Festival admission fee was $6 for adults; $3 for seniors and free for kids 5 & under. During festival days, special priced tickets for the Grapevine Vintage Railroad can be purchased .
