From the internationally recognized Kimbell Art Museum to nearby Six Flags Over Texas and the Rangers and Cowboys stadiums, from the Bass Performance Hall and to the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens, no other city boasts such an unmistakable mix of preserved Western heritage and unrivaled entertainment venues.

Commonly referred to "where the West begins," Fort Worth is a recognized icon of Western heritage.  In the nation's 16th largest city, you can tour the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, listen to live country stars at Billy Bob's Texas, and see the world's only twice-daily cattle drive.

The Cultural District is only minutes from the hustle and bustle of daily commerce in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. Bordered by a tree lined boulevard paved with bricks and surrounded by manicured grounds, the area  is alive with charming shops and restaurants.

Lifelong learning

More than anything, the Annual Gathering is about learning new things and visiting with friends, whether they are friends you've known for years or those you've just met.
