What spells summer more than baseball? America’s favorite pastime will call Fort Worth and Arlington home this summer as the All-Star game comes to Texas. Other exciting events include a cosmic party at Meow Wolf in Grapevine, a nostalgic 20th anniversary, and an anime film festival arrives at The Modern Art Museum in early August.

Pete’s Celebrates 20 Years in Fort Worth

Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar has become a staple in downtown Fort Worth. The piano bar will celebrate with an anniversary party “Here’s to the Next 20: A Night of Nostalgia” on Saturday, July 27 beginning at 7 pm.

Pete’s first arrived in Austin in 1992. Now, the model has locations in Frisco, Fort Worth, Houston, and Chicago, with plans to open another in Nashville, Tennessee in 2025.

“Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar has been a labor of love for me over the past 32 years,” says owner Corey Urbach. “Fort Worth has been such a special location for us as it was one of our first locations. We’ve seen two decades of countless birthday celebrations, proposals, anniversaries, and many other memorable moments for Fort Worthians.”

Guests who attend the Night of Nostalgia will be serenaded by A-list pianists featuring a specially curated setlist that celebrates the hits from the past 20 years, mixed with other favorites. The cost of admission is $14 per person.
