Mother's Day in Downtown Fort Worth
May 13
Have you made your Mother's Day plans for this year? We've got a couple of ideas to make it the best one yet. Pick up her favorite flowers from Flowers To Go, and some chocolates from Schakolad Chocolate Factory while you're at it. Make your reservation ahead of time at one of the many delicious Downtown restaurants, or reserve a seat at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel's Mother's Day Brunch. Spend the afternoon shopping the wide variety of Downtown stores for a gift she'll love. (Tip: Purchase a Sundance Square gift card ahead of time, and put it in her Mother's Day card to surprise her with a shopping spree!) Stop by Sundance Square Plaza and relax at a patio table, then head down Main Street to enjoy the sights and sounds of the beautiful Fort Worth Water Gardens. You are sure to give her a Mother's Day she will never forget!
