It is indoor on purpose. August in Collin County. Parade floats, a regional food bazaar, classical and Bollywood sets, then an evening concert by Shanmukha Priya and Ashish Kulkarni and a laser finale. Wear red, white, and blue, or the tricolor. They asked.
This one dates to 1962. Families drive in from across DFW. Park in the Comerica garage and stay. The Dallas North Tollway exit will be slow after 5.
Eat before the concert. Food lines stretch once the evening program starts.
If you are in Dallas proper the same day, Senbazuru is a free origami-crane workshop at Forest Green Library. It is a different part of town.
When: August 15, 2026, 2–10 p.m.
Where: Comerica Center, 2601 Avenue of the Stars, Frisco, TX 75034
