Arts, Cultural, and Recreation Festival
Production for DFW Cities and Municipalities
Arts and cultural festivals are among the most visible and community-defining events that a DFW
municipality produces. They draw broad public participation, create a platform for local talent and cultural expression, and demonstrate a city’s investment in the public experience beyond basic services. Party Time Texas produces arts festivals, cultural celebrations, outdoor concert series, and recreation programming events for cities and municipal departments across the Dallas-Fort Worth area with the main stage production capabilities, entertainment booking experience, and compliance-ready documentation that city-scale events require. We have produced events alongside arts organizations, parks departments, and city event teams throughout the DFW market for nearly 50 years, and we know how to make these events work.
Full-service event production for DFW companies that take their events seriously.
