According to the event website, there will be family activities and children’s areas as well as carnival games, bubbles, crafts, activities and temporary tattoos.

“It’s one of the best events we do each year,” Southlake Mayor Shawn McCaskill said during the June 18 meeting. “Even though it’s getting bigger, it still feels like a small-town, old-fashioned activity and event.”
