Blog· Entertainment· Events

richardson arts, richardson festival, wildflower fest

Wildflower! Richardson’s Arts and Music Festival is returning for the 21st year and is set for May 17th – 19th. The Festival started in 1993 as a small community event that celebrated the acres upon acres of wildflowers planted around the city. The festival has grown into a yearly event that everyone in the Dallas area attends. Not only is there lots of amazing art but the music lineup is out of this world.  Don’t believe me? Check out the lineup below.

Friday – May 17, 2013

  • Cowboy Mouth – bits of gospel-punk with shards of Cowpunk
  • Gretchen Wilson – country music’s “Redneck Woman”
  • The Charlie Daniels Band – country and Southern rock music legend
  • Spin Doctors – ‘90s alternative rock band
  • Uncle Kracker – pop/country crossover hitmaker
  • Rocket Man – the Best of Elton John tribute show
  • Eliza Gilkyson – Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee
  • Le Freak – The Greatest Disco Band In The World

Saturday – May 18, 2013

  • Toadies – home grown alt-rock heavyweights
  • The Reverend Horton Heat – country-fed punkabilly
  • Blue Oyster Cult – heavy metal/psychedelic rockers
  • Grand Funk Railroad – hard rock, blues band from the ‘70s
  • .38 Special – southern country / blues rockers
  • Eleven Hundred Springs – Texas country rock band
  • Rocket Man – the Best of Elton John tribute show
  • Slaid Cleaves – iconic singer/songwriter

Sunday – May 19, 2013

  • Jolie Holliday – young and dynamic country musician from Richardson
  • Robert Earl Keen – Texas singer/songwriter
  • Ray Wylie Hubbard – elder statesman of the Texas music scene
  • Terri Hendrix with Lloyd Maines – accomplished Americana singer/songwriter duo
  • Rocket Man– the Best of Elton John tribute show

Don’t miss a beat. Be sure to check the full schedule to see which stage your favorite performer will be at.  Bring your family, this is a family-friendly event.  Head over to the Kidz Korner. This area is a fun and colorful festival stop where kids of all ages will find all kinds of games, activities and entertainment geared just for them. Be a rock star on the “Rock Star” karaoke stage, make a bead bracelet, get your face painted, climb the rock wall, visit the City of Richardson’s petting zoo or jump in a big bounce house!  Don’t forget to stop by the Live butterfly habitat featuring over 150 native Texas butterflies and a display of the monarch butterfly metamorphosis – from egg to larva to chrysalis to adult. Trained volunteers will be on site to help the little ones (and adults) identify the different butterfly species.

Tickets start at $20 for Wildflower Festival but if you’re a Richardson resident, you can purchase them for even cheaper. The best deal is to pay $30 for a three day pass so you can come back each day. There is no way that you’ll cover all the amazing events in one day, so why not make a weekend out of it?  Sunday is half price day (only $10) courtesy of Cisco Systems and kids 12 and under get in free with a purchased adult ticket courtesy of Bank of America.

Who wants to win a FAMILY Four Pack of Tickets (2 adults tickets and 2 children tickets – $46 value)? Enter below. Winner will be sent an email on May 6th. Winner has 24 hours to respond and if not, another winner will be chosen. GOOD LUCK!
