In Carrollton, the 'force' will be with residents and visitors as the city hosts its free "May the 4th Be With You" event tomorrow from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Historic Downtown Carrollton Square. Revelers are invited to wear their finest Star Wars gear for an evening of space-themed excitement, including gaming, photo ops, crafts, and laser tag. As the sun sets, attendees can enjoy a free outdoor screening of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," weather permitting. The City of Carrollton promises activities that fit the popular franchise's casual fans and die-hard enthusiasts.
A highlight of the event is the interactive laser tag game and a mobile gaming trailer loaded with the latest consoles, such as Sony PlayStation® PS4™ & PS5™, Microsoft Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. As described on the city's official event page, information about the city's Esports Rooms at Crosby and Rosemeade Recreation Centers will be available for those interested in continuing their digital adventures.
The costume contest is another anticipated feature, set to take place at 7:30 p.m., with prizes awarded for Best Overall, Best Group, and Most Creative. Partnering with Carrollton for this event, members of the 501st Legion, known for their accurate Star Wars costumes, will attend to take photos with fans. Participants can also engage in crafts suited for both children and adults who hold a kinship with the Star Wars universe.
The May 4th event page offers detailed insights for those seeking additional information or a snapshot of what to expect.
