Take a stroll around downtown! There are charming shops, tasty restaurants, and plenty of great spots to grab a drink!

We highly recommend visiting the Heard Museum & Nature Preserve! Founded in 1967, this beautiful 289-acre preserve offers a peaceful escape into nature. Explore the trails, enjoy the natural science museum, and take in the stunning scenery. It’s a perfect spot to discover, relax, and reconnect with the environment!

Be sure to check out Tupps Brewery while you’re in town! It’s just a short trip from the venue and offers a great selection of craft beers in a laid-back, friendly atmosphere. Whether you're a beer connoisseur or just looking for a good time, Tupps is a must-visit spot in McKinney!

If you have time on Saturday, be sure to check out the McKinney Farmers Market, right across from the venue! It’s open from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and features fresh local produce, handmade goodies, and unique finds. A perfect way to start your Saturday before the celebration!
