Fort Worth was recently named the best city in the US for military families thanks to its strong education system, high concentration of green space, and family-friendly activities.
In honor of Veterans Day on Friday, Nov. 11, the local community and businesses are coming together to celebrate our local veterans and military families. As a token of our appreciation, we’ve made a list of Veterans Day events happening in and around Fort Worth.
Pro tip: Most businesses ask to see a form of official military identification.
