McKinney is a beautiful city to live in when the spring months begin, and attending Arts in Bloom downtown is the perfect way to celebrate the season's arrival. From Friday, April 7th through Sunday, April 9th, historic downtown McKinney transforms into one massive art gallery.

For three days, approximately 150 local artists will set up displays along the beautiful streets of McKinney and show off their latest works to the public. In addition to the masterpieces, Arts in Bloom also offers tastings of some of the state's very finest vinos in the Texas Wine Garden. There will be stages scattered throughout the festival hosting live musicians as well as plenty of spots where you can stop for craft beer or food along the way. So don't miss this year's Arts in Bloom, a free event for all of McKinney to enjoy.
