🚗 Heading to the Downtown Arlington Classic Car Show this Saturday?

With more than 200 classic cars and thousands of visitors expected, parking around the event area will be busy. We’ve put together a parking map to help you plan ahead and find the best spot before you arrive. Public parking is also available at First United Methodist Church for the event, located at 313 N. Center St.

Be sure to check the parking map for additional parking options and plan to arrive early to give yourself plenty of time to park and make your way to the show.

Our Front Street Festival returns to Knapp Heritage Park this Saturday!

In addition to live music from Max and Landon, we'll be joined by UTA’s Museum Studies students! We have lots of activities planned, including tours of the historic cabins and schoolhouse, along with crafts—butter-making, hook-and-loom weaving, and cornhusk dolls. We always enjoy having UTA students join us, and these family-friendly activities are a wonderful way to experience pioneer life at Knapp.
