It’s time for another Arts Goggle in the Near Southside. This Friday, the 27th, from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, come to the Near Southside for a huge, free art & music festival fairly unlike anything else in the city. This time around, there are no less than fifty-four venues for you to check out, attracting an even greater number of artists. Paintings, photography, sculpture, jewelry, street performers, and live music will be on display. Featuring art and music on all of the Near Southside’s major streets: Magnolia Avenue, Park Place, Pennsylvania Avenue, South Main Street, Oleander Walk, and more.
In addition to walking, there will be pedicabs and a new trolley shuttle to get you to all the venues of the event. Naturally, since this is in the Near Southside, you won’t have to leave the event to eat or grab a drink, as some of Fort Worth’s best places are in the Near Southside, like Spiral Diner, Chadra Mezza & Grill, Yucatan Taco Stand, the Chat Room Pub, the Fairmount, Finn MacCool’s, Junsuree Thai, King Tut, Lili’s Bistro, Gallery Art Cafe, Old Neighborhood Grill, and more – all local and indie.

Blue Beats – 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM – 1612 Park Place
Fort Worth National Band – 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM – TMA|CHL Architecture, 814 Pennsylvania
