Where else can you have this much fun for free? Nowhere!

The Event

Carrollton’s second annual Festival at the Switchyard will provide family-friendly, community-centered fun and big-name entertainment. The Festival will offer a variety of free kid’s games and activities; along with great food, snacks, and beverages. In addition to our unique festival vendors, there are many restaurants, boutiques, and stores to explore. The Festival will be held on the streets of Historic Downtown Carrollton on the east side of I-35E, between the George Bush Turnpike and LBJ Freeway at Belt Line Road.

The Switchyard

The Festival honors the role that rail has played in the City’s history and it’s importance today and in the future. It was the railroad that first put Carrollton on the map a century and a half ago. Three train lines still cross paths in the Switchyard just north of our Festival site near the historic train depot. And Carrollton is proud to welcome a new wave of commuters and commerce that will be generated by the three new DART Green Line stations that now serve our community.
