Events at the Dallas Arboretum

Dallas Blooms was named one of America's Best Spring Floral Festivals by Fodor's Travel in 2015, and each spring offers one of the most spectacular flower displays in the world.

More than half a million blooming  tulips, daffodils, pansies, violas, poppies, and thousands of other annuals and perennials are on display during the festival, as well as the flowering cherry blossom trees. The Dallas Arboretum also hosts the Cool Thursdays Concert Series in the spring, summer, and fall. Bring your picnic and enjoy live music on green lawns overlooking White Rock Lake. Autumn at the Arboretum, the Tom Thumb Pumpkin Patch, and Artscape are a few more of the top events in Dallas housed at the Dallas Arboretum.
