Denton is gearing up for a grand celebration today as Breanna Nix makes it to the Top 3 on 'American Idol.' The city is throwing a free event-laden homecoming in her honor, featuring a parade and concert. Commencing at 9 a.m., festivities include unveiling a new ice cream flavor named after Nix at Beth Marie's Ice Cream on the Downtown Square, and a chance for fans to greet the star before she takes the stage later at the outdoor concert.
Details about the much-anticipated community parade, which starts at 4:30 p.m. on McKinney Street, making its way down Elm Street and through the Square via an elaborate circuit of Hickory, Locust, and Oak Streets, to ensure the celebration engulfs the heart of Downtown Denton. For those plotting their day around these events, Discover Denton's website lists parking options and notifies visitors of the corresponding street closures, ensuring everyone can easily navigate the day's celebrations.
Later, at 7:00 p.m., locals and visitors alike will assemble in front of the Discover Denton Visitor Center, where Nix will perform in an outdoor concert meant to encapsulate the small-town allure with big entertainment value, crowning the day's jubilant engagements.
