Get ready for Arlington’s biggest block party! DreamFest 2025 returns to Levitt Pavilion this Memorial Day weekend (May 23–25) with three nights of free concerts, food trucks, shopping vendors and festive fun for all ages. Admission and parking are free.
The music kicks off at 7 p.m. Friday night with R&B legends The Drifters, joined by neo-soul artist and noted Dallas singer-songwriter Kamica King, a Dallas-based singer-songwriter. Saturday starts at 5 p.m. with family-friendly activities like face painting, bounce houses and a magician, followed by live country and Red Dirt music from Shelby Stone, Carson Jeffrey and headliner William Clark Green, performing his new single “Whole Lotta Lubbock." Sunday wraps up with a Tejano showcase featuring opener Monica Saldivar and Tejano icon Ram Herrera, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Also, two Levitt Youth Spotlight artists — 10-year-old Nadia Sarai of Mansfield and 17-year-old Max Segura of Arlington — will perform on Friday and Sunday night, respectively.
Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets and coolers (no glass). Leashed pets are welcome. All events take place at Levitt Pavilion Arlington, 100 W. Abram St.
And here’s a fun twist: Sunday night DreamFest sponsors Leah Castillo and Gabe Rivas are tying the knot at the Arlington Dream sculpture in Rotary Park just before the final concert, with Mayor Jim Ross officiating. The couple got engaged during last year’s DreamFest and will celebrate their big day, as well as their love of downtown Arlington, with a private reception in the Levitt Center with the Sunday night concert as the soundtrack!
