After a brief two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Richardson Wildflower Festival, celebrating arts and music, will resume in person, May 20-22, 2022, at the Galatyn Urban Park Richardson.
The award-winning arts and music festival has been one of the best-known annual events in North Texas since 1993.
The festival’s highlights include a regional high school Battle of the Bands Contest, the Al Johnson Performing Songwriter’s Contest, and various children’s activities.
Hit the marketplace for food vendors, local artwork, specialty clothing, and goods, then check out performances from Collective Soul, The Wailers, Jonathan Tyler, and the Northern Lights. The wide selection of musicians encompasses several main genres, including rock, disco, and country music.
While the festival primarily celebrates the visual and performing arts, it also encourages family-friendly activities such as the Wild Flower kid’s area, accessible during the three-day event.
