“We are honored to receive this recognition. It’s the amazing support from the Richardson community and leadership that makes the success of the Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival possible. “ – Lori Smeby, Director of Richardson Parks & Recreation Department
The City of Richardson had two nominations among the 25 Arts & Entertainment categories. The other nominees included DallasFest, Deep Ellum Arts Festival, Fortress Festival, and Homegrown Music and Arts Festival. Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival appreciates being picked by the readers and recognized as a premier music festival within the metroplex!
“Why Red Pegasus? Because the old Magnolia Oil Co. logo, later Mobil’s, long shone atop Dallas’ tallest building, visible to passing airplane pilots, and became the city’s most visible symbol, an enduring sign that beneath all that’s shiny and new in Dallas lies a city with a history. Ever-changing, Dallas has always provided an exciting place to live, work and have fun. Votes help Red and the Observer uncover the best in the city, as we take readers on our annual tour of all that’s best, old and new, in Big D.” – Dallas Observer
