Beat the daylight saving slump with these Fort Worth activities

During daylight saving time, the clocks “spring forward,” allowing Fort Worthians to make the most of their evenings.

We don’t know who needs to hear this but, spring is almost here.

It’s daylight saving time. At 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, clocks will jump forward to 3 a.m., meaning we’ll lose an hour of sleep, but gain brighter evenings for the next several months. If the time change has you feeling off, here are a few ways to make the most of those longer evenings around Fort Worth.

🌇 Take advantage of golden hour

Panther City has a skyline worth bragging about — capture the sunset on the lawn of the Amon Carter Museum for your phone’s background.

⏰ Reset your routine

If the lost sleep hits you hard, consider an early evening coffee or match run at any of our buzzing coffee shops or relax your body with a self-care session.

🎶 Catch live music after work

With daylight stretching later, concerts and outdoor shows feel even better. Many of North Texas venues have long setlists to amp up this spring.

🌳 Enjoy the great outdoors

Admire the spring foliage, get your steps in on Trinity Trails, or plan a picnic at any of Fort Worth’s parks.

🗓️ Attend a local event

Every month, we update our Plan Ahead with a variety of events happening in and around Fort Worth every single day, no matter when the sun sets.
