The largest North Texas arts festival will take over Magnolia Avenue this weekend.
ArtsGoggle will be held Saturday, Oct. 24, bringing 80,000 guests to shop vendors, try local food and listen to over 50 musicians. An estimated 800 artists will line Magnolia Avenue for 21 blocks in Near Southside of Fort Worth.
This may be the last year for the 23-year-old art festival for a while due to Magnolia Avenue underground construction that will begin next spring.
