Kimbell Art Museum
Family Festival 1PM – 4PM
Michelangelo, Matisse, and Me
This is a great free event for the whole family. From the Kimbell:
Discover your inner artist through creative activities and films inspired by European art in the Museum’s collection. Don’t miss a fun “informance” by the Fort Worth Jazz Orchestra as musicians engage audience members to present different styles of jazz.
Treat your kids to some hot dogs and custard from Curly’s before visiting the museum. Even with the heat the water misters and shade kept us cool on a recent visit. Plus you can’t let summer escape without treating yourself to some unforgettable peach custard.
Another kid friendly option for a quick bite is the Love Shack. I’ve heard that they have also put up some extra shade as well, but I haven’t seen it for myself yet. My kids love their burgers with a little milk shake chaser. Grown ups can enjoy the Dirty Love Burger with a beer or a refreshing marg.

Fort Worth Museum of Science and History
DaVinci after Dark $10, free for members
6PM -10PM
The FWMSH is hosting an after hours event for Adults Only. It is very clear billed as an adults only event so leave the kids with the sitter and get your hands on all the cool exhibits that your kids would normally be hogging. There will be a cash bar and snacks available as well as Italian wine tasting. Best of all they’ve booked one of my favorite local bands, Seryn, to play at 9PM. Here’s some deets from FWMSH:
Explore our exhibit Leonardo da Vinci: Man, Inventor, Genius, dance to local bands Eyes and Ears and Seryn. Then try your hand at backwards writing, journal making and building catapults. Watch local Makers demo their inventions, meet contact jugglers, and observe sculptors in action.

Lola’s Sixth
The Good Show Live Music Series 10PM-2AM, $8
Little Black Dress, RTB2, and Stella Rose
The Good Show guys have another great lineup for all your live music needs. If you’re a regular listener of KXT radio you’ll have heard some great tunes from Little Black Dress and RTB2, here’s your chance to catch them live along with Fort Worth locals Stella Rose.
Food options are plentiful around Lola’s. Some of my pre-show faves are The Love Shack, Fred’s, La Familia, and J&J’s Oyster Bar-they all serve quick and great food without a big pricetag. Other options are Terra Mediterranean, Tillman’s, Patrizio’s, reverse Happy Hour at Brownstone for $5/$6 apps and HH priced drinks all conveniently located on the other side of 7th in the W7 development.
