Rarely is the appearance of May such a welcome thing in North Texas. It generally means the arrival of oppressive heat and car-murdering hailstorms. And it still might. But at least it marks what has to be the end of some straight-up weird wintry weather that still had us running our heaters just a few short weeks ago. Hoist one to the end of winter at Fort Worth’s annual Mayfest celebration. The four-day festival will net visitors hours of much-needed vitamin D exposure, offering diversions that include live music on three stages throughout the grounds, performing arts on four stages, duck races, actual dog and pony shows, mazes, bungee jumping, shopping, petting zoos, beer booths aplenty, and food courts stocked to satisfy every craving imaginable. The festival kicks off at Trinity Park (2401 University Drive, Fort Worth) from 3:30 to 10 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and then again from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $8 for everyone 13 and up; $5 for 3- to 12-year-olds and seniors; and free for tykes 2 and younger. Visit mayfest.org for a complete schedule of events.
