Mother’s Day 2023 in Fort Worth

by Whats Up Fort Worth | May 8, 2023 | Best in Fort Worth, Dated, Family Fun, Food, Food and Restaurants, Holidays in Fort Worth

Mother’s Day is a special occasion to show appreciation for the woman who has given us life and love. It’s a time to celebrate motherhood and all the sacrifices that come with it. Here are some ideas to help make this day memorable for your mom.

BRUNCH…and a ton of other ideas to show MOM how much you appreciate her—

1. Pick Your Favorite Mother’s Day Brunch Spot in Fort Worth

2. Enjoy a Stroll or Bike Ride Along the Trinity Trails

The Trinity Trails is always a great family outing. Extending through Fort Worth for over 70 miles along the Trinity River, The Trinity Trails is a wonderful trek for hikers, bikers, runners, and horseback riders and a special outing with Mom.

3. Every Mom loves flowers!

Here’s an idea that doesn’t take any social distancing thought to it. Order Mom flowers or a beautiful spring flower arrangement. What’s Up staffers use Gordon Boswell Florist.

4. Enjoy a Winery Tour and a Glass of Wine with Mom

Cowtown Winery, located on Mule Alley in the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards, offers a sneak peek behind the scenes at Cowtown Winery! See how it all happens and let the wine maker walk you through a journey of turning juice from the grape into your favorite wine! You will see all the equipment, learn the different processes it takes, discuss the vineyards and of course sample a couple of wines. With the tour you will receive a souvenir wine glass and two glasses of wine. Cowtown Winery offers tours on select Saturdays at 3:00 pm

https://www.cowtownwinery.com/winery-tours-index#winery-tours

5. Indulge in Some Retail Therapy with Mom

Every mom has “a thing” or favorite store. Treat your mom to an afternoon of safe, social distanced shopping and buy her something nice, something she would not have bought for herself. Be safe and Buy Local. That makes Mom happy and keeps the Fort retail wheels turning. #Support Our Fort. We love supporting Fort Worth businesses so that’s always a Bonus. A good day of shopping is always followed by a good glass of wine at your favorite spot. See #5!

6. Host Your Own SIP and PAINT Class

Here is another way to Support the Fort, bring some creative fun home by buying some art supplies and opening a bottle of your finest Cab. Pick a subject (like the fruit bowl on your kitchen counter or Dad lounging on the sofa) and start painting. Just don’t expect Mom to hang your work of art in the living room? Don’t like the PAINT part of this idea, no problem…..Host Your Own Sip and Sit with Mom. How’s that?

7. Give Mom a Mani-Pedi

Treat Mom to a little pampering to encourage mother-daughter bonding. You’re out with Mom and pampering her (and yourself). Doesn’t that feel good?

8. GARDEN TOGETHER

Stop by your favorite garden center, back to #Support the Fort, and plan a day of gardening with Mom. It can be as intense or light as you want. It might end up with a nice Sip and Sit with Mom on the back porch…and that’s always a good thing!

9. Adopt an Asian Elephant for Mom

Mother’s Day Brunch at The Fort Worth Zoo is SOLD OUT, but you can still celebrate Mom . Tell her that she’s elephant-astic by adopting recent first-time elephant mom, Belle, in her honor! This adoption includes an Asian elephant plush, a personalized adoption certificate, an animal fact sheet, a coloring kit and a zoo publication all packaged inside of an animal carrier box. All proceeds from the adoption program support the care and feeding of the Zoo’s animals, including the elephants.

10. Plan a Game Night for Mom

You know what games Mom likes to play—card games, board games, charades, or any other party game. If Mom likes it, let’s play it!

11. No Work Pass

OK this should be a given. Moms do not work on Mother’s Day. If your mom tries to participate in work activities, present her with a “No Work Pass” for the day. Sit her down and take over.

12. Custom Coupons for Mom

Put a coupon book together for things that you and Mom can do together, for her day and for the next few months. Can you ever spend enough time with Mom? Ideas are easy—lunch and a movie, a wine outing or Happy Hour, a spa day. The list is endless and it gives Mom lots more things to look forward to.

Valentines Day 2023 in Fort Worth

VALENTINE’S DAY 2023

The History of Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day is named after Saint Valentine, a Catholic priest who lived in Rome in the 3rd Century.

At the time of Valentine’s life, many Romans were converting to Christianity, but the Emperor Claudius II was a pagan and created strict laws about what Christians were allowed to do. Claudius believed that Roman soldiers should be completely devoted to Rome and therefore passed a law preventing them from marrying. St Valentine began to marry these soldiers in secret Christian ceremonies and this was the beginning of his reputation for believing in the importance of love. 200 years later, February 14th was proclaimed St Valentine’s Day

This year we officially celebrate our Loves on a Tuesday. Don’t wait till Tuesday! Here is a list of great date night experiences to celebrate Love in Fort Worth, either before or after February 14th. Happy Valentine’s Day! We LOVE Fort Worth!

Cliburn Concert Series with J’Nai Bridges

Friday, February 11th

The Post at River East

A flashy Cliburn Concerts debut, without a doubt: J’Nai Bridges comes to Fort Worth fresh off a 2022 Grammy win for her recording of Philip Glass’ Akhnaten with the Metropolitan Opera. She’s known for her “plush-voiced mezzo-soprano” (The New York Times) and has been heralded as “a rising star” (Los Angeles Times); she’s graced the world’s top stages in repertoire ranging from traditional favorites to world premieres to spirituals and standards. The American mezzo-soprano sold out her Carnegie Hall solo recital debut. She’s performed at the BBC Proms, Elbphilharmonie, and Tanglewood Festival; with the San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Dutch National Operas; and with the National, BBC, New York Philharmonic, and Chicago Symphony Orchestras, the last with Yo-Yo Ma. And now a handful of lucky Fort Worth patrons will get to hear her excellence in two intimate concerts, one at the Kimbell, one at The Post.

Arlington Music Hall

An Evening with JD Souther

Saturday, February 17th

Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee JD Souther is “one of the most celebrated songwriters of his generation,” writes Interview Magazine. “Raised on a steady diet of big band and jazz during his childhood, Souther has routinely returned to that music— as well as the genius songwriters of the early 20th century (Gershwin, Cole Porter)—for inspiration. On his latest studio album, Tenderness, Souther combines these musical threads, striking a perfect balance between understated jazz and the ineffable pop narratives that have been the backbone of much of his greatest work.”

Santa is coming to town!

by Whats Up Fort Worth | Dec 3, 2022 | Arts, Best in Fort Worth, Family Fun, Holidays in Fort Worth, Theater

Jubilee Theatre – prestigiously known as Fort Worth’s premiere Black theatre – is living up to its mission of sharing stories that give a glimpse of the African American diaspora. As such, we also believe all ethnicities are vital to our microcosm that makes up Tarrant County. Thus, the creation of “Santa On The Square. “

With the support of Sundance Square, and other community sponsors, Jubilee Theatre is presenting multi-ethnic Santas for children to visit from December 3-23, 2022 (11 a.m. to 8 p.m.). Santa and his sleigh will be at the covered patio located outside the former Bird Café in Sundance Plaza. Rotating SANTA time slots will feature traditional Santa/Kris Kringle, Black Santa and Latino Santa for families to select for their visit. FREE photo texts will be provided and/or a photo print can be purchased via CREDIT/DEBIT Card for $15.

Jubilee’s Theatre’s website and posters around the Plaza will utilize a QR code for both viewing the multi-ethnic Santa schedules and to RSVP a Santa visit appointment. Also, parking is free in Sundance Square Garages #3 and #4 with special SANTA parking vouchers given after the photo sessions.

“We are excited about the upcoming opportunities to expand our presence in the Sundance Square community,” states Christie Howard, Managing Director of Jubilee Theatre. “Increased accessibility to cultural arts is the cornerstone of the rich Sundance Square experience. We invite all to join us.”

“Santa on the Square” is but one component of the holiday celebrations at Jubilee Theatre. We are also showing the production of Take the Soul Train to Christmas (Nov 25 to Dec 23). A holiday musical for the whole family. For more information, visit https://www.jubileetheatre.org
