Especially if you’ve got here before, be sure to go to the new location this year: near the park, between Sonic and Carter’s. Reservations needed. If you’ve got time afterward, stick around for a special sensory-sensitive screening of the newly released Kung Fu Panda 4 at AMC Firewheel. And it’s free admission too!

It’s a scene made all the more gorgeous with the annual Dallas Blooms flower festival in full swing. Tickets are $28 per person, and registration is required.
