As Dallas’s world-famous Longhorn Ballroom continues to evolve and expand, the Longhorn property fits more and more in line with how its stewards at Kessler Presents have always envisioned it to be: a campus for creatives. Collectively, The Longhorn, nestled along the banks of the original Trinity River and just a mile from Downtown Dallas, isn’t just the venue anymore; it’s a whole hub for the next generation of Texas’s creative minds, uniting food, drink, entertainment, retail, and community under one legendary name. And beginning in Spring 2026, The Longhorn is taking the party outdoors.

Spring has sprung and the wildflowers across Texas are beginning to bloom! One of the best, and safest spots to view the state’s various native beauties is in Texas State Parks. Choose one of more than 85 parks to take your family photos amongst this year’s blooms away from busy roadways. Try not to step on the flowers so they return next year and resist the urge to take one home with you so others can enjoy themselves. Leave no trace but enjoy the space! photo by Allen Rich
