What To Do Around Town!

Nextdoor is a good source to find things to do around town. Nextdoor has recently added a new feature for finding neighborhood decorations for seasons like Halloween and Christmas. Nextdoor Holiday Map.

Fort Worth Area 55+ Senior Fun Group shares posts of activities and things to do in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and surrounding areas.

Meetup is a fine resource for finding activities and groups for hiking, networking, socializing, learning, and more. Events  or  Groups.

Facebook has a list of local events that have been posted, and of course, there are thousands of groups to join on almost any subject in the world.

Antiquing is a fun way to spend a morning or afternoon, it’s interesting, often finding great bargains, and it is a pleasant way to get out of the house and get some exercise.

Two of my favorites are Westside Antique Marketplace and Ties 2 The Past.

Ties 2 The Past was winner “Best of 2020 Fort Worth”.
