Dallas’ most vibrant neighborhood, Uptown, has created a one day street festival dedicated to the unique culture and art of the area named, All About Uptown Festival: A Celebration of Art & Living. The festival will be presented by the Uptown Dallas Association (UDA), a non-profit corporation supported by the Uptown Public Improvement District.

The All About Uptown Festival: A Celebration of Art & Living is a one day free festival exploring the best of Uptown from live music, food & drink, legendary chefs cooking demonstrations, artisans, historic tours of the areas Victorian homes, trolley system and cemeteries. Of course, a festival isn’t complete without activities for the little ones and four legged friends!

With more than 90 restaurants and bars in this region of the city, great food is an integral part of Uptown life. Respectively, the reality that hunger exists in North Texas is a worthy cause to many Uptown business owners and residents. All About Uptown Festival: A Celebration of Art & Living will team up with North Texas Food Bank as its’ official nonprofit partner to spread the word about fighting hunger. The festival will be featured in September as one of the 30 ways to make a difference during Hunger Action Month.

GWAR / Kingdom of Sorrow / Toxic Holocaust Only lead singer Oderus Urungus (aka Dave Brockie) has stuck around since GWAR's start 23 years ago, but the huge costumes, raunchy and obscene lyrics, and fluids spraying into the audience are sure to be on full display as the metal band makes its return to Dallas.
