A news release states there will be more than 50 attractions. There will also be live music on two stages and pop-up shops.
“Our team couldn’t be more excited to partner with the City of Uhland, Texas, on this once-in-a-lifetime project,” festival producer and developer Christopher Durst said in the release. “This development will undoubtedly change the way families experience entertainment together. Our goal is to design a fun and wholesome environment where families can enjoy time-honored traditions, all while creating core memories that will endure for a lifetime.”
