At 2 a.m. this 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.
⏰ 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.
Do you hear that? That’s the sound of spring. The Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s outdoor concert series Blooms & Beats will return next Friday, March 13. Admission is $15. There’ll be a cash bar, lawn games, and food trucks.
