SATURDAY, October 26th,  11:30 AM to 4:00 PM-FOREST HILLS RESIDENTS ARE INVITED FOR A DAY FILLED WITH FESTIVITIES, FOOD AND FUN! 
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!


    

The Centennial Fair and Parade is almost here! After months of preparation and planning, our charming neighborhood nestled in the heart of Dallas, is gearing up to celebrate the BIG 100!

We will kick off the day with the Parade at 11:30 AM before the much anticipated Centennial Fair begins at 12 PM. Design your own “float“ and help create the parade with your neighbors and family! Decorate your cars, golf carts, bicycles or walking group. Or just come watch! The theme, “100 years of Forest and Friendship“ sets the tone for a celebration deeply rooted in the green forest of our hills. All parade entries will be entered into a drawing for a $100 gift certificate for Birdie’s Restaurant!  More
