"An annual festival featuring top chefs from DFW, led by Dallas food legend Sharon Van Meter, offering a wide variety of food and wine." - Courtney E. Smith
"Frequently named one of the top botanical gardens in the world, the fairytale-esque Dallas Arboretum sits resplendent on 66 glorious acres, overlooking majestic White Rock Lake. From the innovative Trial Gardens to the serene Woman’s Garden, this is the kind of Eden-like enclave where you’ll actively want to get lost amid the blooming beauty. The ‘Cool Thursdays Concert Series’ on the manicured lakeside lawn are also a major treat in the Spring and Fall—particularly when enjoyed with a picnic and a glass of bubbly in hand." - Priya Krishna, Jonathan Thompson
"The Dallas Arboretum is regarded as one of the best of its kind in the world, attracting more more than a million annual visitors. Located on Dallas’ White Rock Lake, this lush attraction fills 66 acres with gardens and groves. With 19 distinct and impeccably tended gardens, the arboretum is among the most popular outdoor areas in DFW. It also has an excellent events calendar, which includes summer concerts and a massive fall pumpkin patch. It’s a great outdoor activity option in any season, and comes complete with lovely views of the lake and city skyline." - MATADOR_NETWORK
"Set on the banks of White Rock Lake, this 66-acre sanctuary offers scenic trails, blooming gardens, and peaceful green spaces for when you want some quiet time with nature—plus kids’ areas, holiday events, and a packed calendar of festivals and concerts for when it’s time for something a bit livelier. Take in the vibrant hues of the Jonsson Color Garden, Crape Myrtle Allee, and gardens dedicated to roses and camellias, or do some contemplating in the Palmer Fern Dell or the McCasland Sunken Garden. Opened in 2017, A Tasteful Place is a 3.5-acre garden focusing on fruit, veggies, and edible herbs and flowers; tastings, demo, nutrition sessions, and cooking classes are held throughout the year. Don’t miss some of the main section’s events, too, such as the annual Dallas Blooms fest and summer concert series."
