GRAMMY Award-winning Fort Worth artist Leon Bridges.
Ah, November, that time of year when we gather with loved ones and reflect on what we are thankful for while searching for the best Black Friday deals. This is also the time of year we give back, create new leftover recipes, and root for the home team to persevere after indulging in two helpings of pumpkin pie. We know you probably already have plans, but that doesn’t mean you can’t show off what Fort Worth has to offer to the in-laws or out-of-towners at your table. See what November happenings are occurring in Cowtown and start a new holiday tradition this year.
