It was a kaleidoscope of hues and family fun yesterday at Wayne Ferguson Plaza, where the City of Lewisville played host to ColorPalooza 2025: A Celebration of Spring. As reported by the city's official announcement, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., attendees of all ages basked in a medley of free activities, demonstrating that not even April showers could suppress the festivities.
For those eager to tap into their creative side, the event did not disappoint. Interactive stations allowed for custom key-chain crafting, friendship bracelet braiding, and some nifty embroidery work. And for the more visually adventurous, a "Glow Crazy" realm immersed visitors in glow-in-the-dark photo ops that were nothing short of Instagram-worthy. Art enthusiasts were treated to live demonstrations by three new Art Demo artists, as mentioned on the City of Lewisville's website.
In tune with the festival's vibrant ambiance, the Grace Han Band performed from the Commercial Bank of Texas stage, providing a musical backdrop to a day chock-full of activities. The Cultural Corner packed a punch with performances and crafts spotlighting the region's diverse cultural fabric, including Carolina Imperial and the Vickery Folklorico LISD Band. Food offerings were as varied as the entertainment, with vendors like Halal Fusionz and Ms. Piggy's dishing out flavors that spanned the globe from Pakistani-Tex Mex to classic German fare.
As part of the ongoing Centennial celebrations, attendees were encouraged to use the VisitLewisvilleTX app – both as an event guide and as a portal to the "Centennial Passport" program, as outlined by the City of Lewisville. This program invited festivalgoers to check in at ColorPalooza for a chance to snag deals, discounts, and enter a prize draw. In the spirit of community, Giving is Golden collected essential donations for local charities, reminding us that amidst the revelry, the needs of our neighbors persist.
