This is no April Fool’s joke — April is here, meaning the weather is fine and it’s a great time to enjoy all the happenings that Panther City has to offer. Here are some of this month’s top events.
Proceeds will benefit The Women’s Center’s programs, like their crisis hotline, court advocacy, and trauma-informed counseling, serving over 100,000 individuals each year. | Photos courtesy of Edgar Miller Photography
Participants can choose from a 5K Timed Run, an Untimed 5K Walk, or a 1K Fun Run that starts at Trinity Park Duck Pond near downtown Fort Worth and winds through the park. Enjoy a family-friendly atmosphere and receive two free Mayfest tickets.
The start of Passover — which runs through Thursday, April 9. Join Antioch Fort Worth at 7 p.m. this Friday, April 3 for a traditional Passover Seder.
Eat
A new restaurant opened inside the 75-year-old Silver Wheel roller skating rink. K & K Cafe is now serving country-style breakfast, lunch, and dessert, including thick waffles, chicken-fried steak, meatloaf, and cheesecake. (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
Award
Two DFW-area chefs are finalists in the 2026 James Beard Awards. Scott Girling of Denton’s Osteria il Muro is up for “Best Chef: Texas.” Find out who else advanced. (The Dallas Morning News)
History
Billy Bob’s Texas opened on this day in 1981 — aka 45 years old. To celebrate, check out upcoming concerts, free line dancing lessons, and the return of Sunday couples dance classes through Sunday, May 3.
Shop
After closing its Sundance Square location in 2013, Barnes & Noble is returning to central Fort Worth. The popular bookstore chain plans to open a spot in Montgomery Plaza by the holiday season. (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
Weather
This weekend’s forecast is looking a little wet. About a 40% chance of rain is in the books for Saturday, but skies should clear up by Easter Sunday. Follow WFAA’s Marial Ruiz for updates.
The Buy
A trendy square-cut tank under $15 that’s a great wardrobe basic for spring and summer. It’s double-lined, soft, and has the right amount of stretch to flatter curves. Stock up in black, white, or both.
Even editors need a spring break sometimes. Wondering where I’ve been? I just spent the last four days at Big Bend National Park — an 8-hour escape from FTW, and totally off the grid. If you emailed me since Thursday, consider this my official “circling back,” and I’ll get back to your email as soon as possible. While you wait, check out some parks closer to home (with cell service).
