Cowtown Goes Green 2019

The Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District will host Cowtown Goes Green on Saturday, March 16 to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and we’d like to invite your to celebrate with us!  This annual event serves as a community-wide celebration of Irish culture with a western twist featuring live music, face painting, cloggers & dance troupes, armadillo races, Old West Gunfights, Cowboy poetry and much more.
