Fort Worth

A bustling city in North Texas, it's a cultural gateway into the American West and hosts a thriving arts scene and historic cattle-drive district.

Tips from the community

Opal Lee is considered the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” and we can’t discuss the holiday without mentioning her activism. Lee, a Texas native, spent her childhood picnicking with her family every Juneteenth. As with many Black folks, she celebrated the holiday long before the federal government recognized it—which might not have happened without her.  In 2016, at 89, Opal Lee walked from her home in Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., on a mission to get Juneteenth named a national holiday. This year on June 18th, Lee will lead the city’s annual ‘Opal’s Walk For Freedom’ with a portion of the walk’s proceeds going towards a forthcoming National Juneteenth Museum set to open in 2024. The best part? If you’re not in Fort Worth, you can join Opal’s Walk virtually.  For live music lovers, head to the ‘ I Am Juneteenth Festival’ hosted along the Trinity River with food vendors and family activities. And for sports fans, the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo honors a legendary cowboy and the beautiful legacy of Black cowboys and cowgirls.  Have a few extra days to hang? Meet up with Black travel group Urban Events Global in Kilgore Texas for Urban Camp Weekend: the largest Black campout in the world.
