 Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Anderson and welcome to the Fort Report. Another festive May is upon us, and there's no better way to celebrate than at the appropriately named Mayfest. You don't want to miss this four-day family festival. And if you're looking for me at Mayfest, you may find me in the crowd at one of the three music stages, or you may find me in a paddle boat, or you may find me at the Great American Duck Races, or you may find me at the Art and Gift Market, or you may find me at one of the Food Vendors, or you may find me at... That's enough. Oh. Well then, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I may be anywhere, and you may just have to come see for yourself. We are so excited about the 44th annual Mayfest. It's coming up April 28th through May 1st. This is kind of like coming home, but you also want to spice things up and have something new. So to that end, we are incredibly excited to be bringing in a BMX bike stunt show, and it will be on the beautiful banks of the Trinity River. Always on the lookout for something new and fun, Mayfest is bringing a bubble tower. So imagine sitting on the grounds of Mayfest and having bubbles surrounding you. Who wouldn't love that? In addition, like coming home, we have our American Duck Races. Always a favorite at Mayfest is the paddle boats, and we are so very excited to be able to bring that back. The EECU Mayfest run is on Saturday, April 30th. It includes a one-mile fun run, 5K and 10K, which are both USATF certified. The course is absolutely beautiful and takes you along the path of the Trinity River concluding in the festival grounds. With your bib, you can have entrance into Mayfest for free all four days of the festival as many times as you want. Mayfest also has wonderful carnival foods, arts and craft shopping, and three stages of entertainment. All the proceeds that are raised at each year's festival are given back to our community through our three founding organizations. So Mayfest is so proud to continue to give every day of the year. So far, since 1973, Mayfest has given back $6.9 million, and you see that in Fort Worth. Visit mayfest.org for more information. For the best ticket prices, follow them on Facebook.
