Plano-McKinney Music & Arts Festival set for mid-April

Twin festivals are planned for McKinney and Plano this October. Outlaw Nation Executive Director Josh Brown said festivals will continue in both cities every spring and fall thereafter.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends people avoid large gatherings and advises those who do attend gatherings to wear masks and practice social distancing. Recommendations also include avoiding trips to concession stands or restroom facilities when people are clustered there, such as during concert intermissions. Brown said the open space at Myers Park will allow attendees to safely spread out.

The festival will be from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day. In addition to concerts and artist booths, the event will feature a classic car show, a farm-fresh market, a vintage and antiques market, and pet adoptions. Admission is $15 at the gate or $8 with a discount pass. Contactless tickets may also be purchased in advance for $10 through Eventbrite. Parking is free, and tickets provide admission on both days.
