Unfortunately the Plano Balloon festival didn’t quite get off the ground, but Grapefest continued with no interruptions after some much needed rain over DFW.
The event has grown hugely and there were enough bands, tents and wines to make you forget you’re walking down Grapevine’s main street. The Gaylord Texan stage seemed to be the most popular area for adults and families and young tweens filled up the Midway.
We had a sampler of fried oreos and corn dog, washed down with a local Sauvignon Blanc. Not bad. And the nice thing is, there’s much more than fair food. From P.F. Chang’s to crepes, it was easy to find anything you wanted, deep fried or not.
The fest is crowded, but there’s plenty to see and do and it’s worth the admission. If you do head out there next year, just be sure to bring cash, an empty stomach, and your dancing shoes.
