Carrollton, Texas, turned up the charm and the volume for its 14th annual Festival at the Switchyard, gathering more than 27,000 attendees. The historic Downtown Carrollton set the backdrop for a full day of free amusements, from bungee trampolines to concerts by international acts. According to the
City of Carrollton
, the local economic and social fixture had kids and adults enjoying classics like corny dogs and turkey legs.
With an apparent mission to charm every visitor inescapably, the City of Carrollton didn’t skimp on music or merriment. Local community performances added to the hometown feel, with School of Rock (North Dallas) and Jason Kyle Wickens kicking off the entertainment.
As the sun dipped and the stage lights burned bright, Texas natives Deep Blue Something transported the crowd back to the ’90s with “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” The headliners, The Wallflowers, didn’t disappoint either, serenading the city with their classic brand of rock, complete with Jakob Dylan’s raspy vocals, relayed by the excitement of the festival’s patrons.
One lucky attendee and self-proclaimed super fan of Deep Blue Something, Amber Boucher, took home a custom-wrapped guitar signed by the festival’s headlining bands, a prize won through the City’s social media contest. Another chance to snag some memorabilia awaits festivalgoers, who can still aim to win a second signed guitar by completing a survey to help improve future festivals.
