Spring is here! This brings us to Flower Mound’s busiest event season. This is a great time to get involved in your community and you can find something for everyone!
March and April are packed with family-friendly events. We start off strong with the Twin Coves Open House on Saturday, March 21. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the gates to Twin Coves Park (5001 Wichita Trail) will be open for free entry. You can tour the cabins, visit the various day-use areas, enjoy snacks and refreshments, and have your kids participate in activities. Come see Flower Mound’s best staycation destination!
The Flower Mound Symphony will have their spring performance on Saturday, March 14, at 7 p.m. at Trietsch Memorial Church (6101 Morriss Rd.). If you haven’t been to their performances, you are missing out! Please support this community orchestra and hear their talent. You can buy tickets at the door or visit fmco.org
Also on March 21, celebrate the color of joy at the annual Holi Festival at Heritage Park (600 Spinks Rd.). This Town-sponsored event, presented by the Denton County India Cultural Association, is free and open to all ages. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., enjoy color throwing, music, dancing, and food as we celebrate unity and joy.
Then, on Sunday, March 22, put your engineering skills to the test at our Sink or Sail Regatta. Starting at 6:30 p.m., individual participants or teams of two will design and build a seaworthy vessel using only supplies provided by the Community Activity Center (1200 Gerault Rd.). All creations will compete in a final race in the CAC’s indoor pool. Each team must have one member sail their craft across 25 yards without sinking. Prizes will be awarded to the top three fastest vessels that complete the journey successfully. You can learn more and register at www.flowermound.gov/events.
A couple of spring’s biggest events will be on Saturday, March 28! First, Hop on over to Jake’s Hilltop Park (4975 Timber Creek Dr.) for the Town’s 42nd annual Easter Egg Scramble. Festivities start at 1:30 p.m., with the egg scramble kicking off promptly at 2:30 p.m. The egg scramble will be separated by age group for kids under 12, followed by an adult scramble at the end. This is an Easter tradition in town, and it’s always a blast for the kiddos and adults! So bring the whole family.
Then, on the evening of March 28, you can support SPAN/Meals on Wheels at their 5th annual Fundraiser.
