Grapefest - Grapevine, Texas
Grapevine hosts an annual "Grapefest" near the end of each summer. They actually close off the entire downtown area to automotive traffic, and stuff every available space with merchants, wine tasting booths, live music performances, and antique cars.
Here are some shots of the old cars on display:
Grapevine also lies at one end of the Tarantula Railroad that travels daily to the station at the Fort Worth Stockyards.
And, as luck would have it... Downtown Grapevine is also home to a favorite Soda Fountain -
"A Scoop in Time" , located at 412 S. Main Street. Friendly fresh faced staff, and the best milkshakes in the DFW metroplex!
