The events in Van Alstyne continue to get better and better, in quantity, quality, and variety. Our Municipal Event Coordinator, Kandi Hessel, has played the biggest role in making this possible for our community. Kandi and the rest of the Van Alstyne Parks and Recreation department have had a consistent schedule of community events. And thanks to their collaboration with incredible local sponsors, almost all of the events are completely free for the community to enjoy!
Previous Van Alstyne events included:
Fall Der All
Splash Bash
The Spring Wine Festival
The Summer Concert Series
The Christmas Parade and Tree lighting
Movie In the Park
The Independence Celebration
Downtown Trick or Treating
Many of these events have been annual events our community has looked forward to and enjoyed for years. In 2024, the Parks and Recreation Department added many more events with an emphasis on our historic downtown and our local businesses. These events have included Margarita Crawls, Pal-entines events, Salsa Showdown crawls, Saturday Night Rides car shows, and a monthly Shop and Sample Saturday. These events have generated incredible participation from community members who are making it clear, these local events are exactly what our downtown has needed!
