How does your organization take care of the volunteers that help your events and festivals happen? Today, 30 TFEA members went behind the scenes of the North Texas Irish Festival NTIF and were invited by hosts to join the volunteer managers for lunch in the hospitality room. What a great networking opportunity.

Cottonwood Art Festival Names Julia Gilmore as Featured Artist for Spring 2026

Bold color, gestural texture, and iconic imagery transform everyday subjects into powerful visual stories that embody the spirit of Richardson’s award-winning fine art festival.

“Cottonwood Art Festival is honored to feature Julia Gilmore this spring. Her work embodies the spirit of the festival – accessible yet sophisticated, joyful yet deeply personal – and her visual storytelling resonates strongly with both collectors and first-time festivalgoers.” -- Dianna Lawrence, Festival Director and Superintendent of Community Events

Congrats to Plano Balloon Festival, Inc. for rising above 100k followers on Facebook!

100,000 strong and still rising. 🎈💙

The H-E-B | Central Market Plano Balloon Festival officially surpassed 100,000 Facebook followers.

That number represents families who bring blankets before sunrise.
Volunteers who show up with smiles.
Pilots who trust Texas skies.
Sponsors who believe in community.
Kids who point up and say, “Look!”

For decades, this festival has been about more than hot air balloons. It is about connection, tradition, and the shared moment when the burners fire and the crowd collectively inhales.

Thank you for following, sharing, tagging, attending, volunteering, and cheering us on. Every like, comment, and memory has helped grow this incredible festival within our community.

Here’s to the next lift off!

Celebrate with us at the H-E-B | Central Market Plano Balloon Festival on September 17-20, 2026!
