Historic downtown Grapevine will transform into a lively celebration of Texas culture when the 42nd Annual Main Street Fest returns May 15-17, 2026. The three-day festival, presented by Bank of the West, is one of North Texas’ most anticipated annual events, offering live music, craft brews, food vendors, shopping, carnival rides, and family-friendly entertainment.
Held along Grapevine’s Main Street, the festival will feature multiple entertainment stages with performances ranging from country music to classic hits. One of this year’s biggest highlights is a headlining performance by Texas country artist Jack Ingram on Saturday night. Visitors can also expect roaming performers, magicians, bubble artists, and interactive entertainment throughout the weekend.
New for 2026, the festival will showcase high-wire performers from Antigravity Art recreating a historic 1914 Grapevine stunt originally performed by Will Taylor or “Bill the Movie Man.” The performances will take place between Grapevine City Hall and The Wallis Hotel, adding a dramatic and historic event to the celebration.
In addition, this year’s festival will also serve as the kickoff celebration for Grapevine Mayor William D. Tate’s 50th year in office, marking a historic milestone as one of the longest-serving mayors in Texas history. Special Golden Jubilee festivities and a statue unveiling are planned during the weekend celebration.
