With a population of more than 147,000, Denton is far from rolling up the sidewalks at night. Denton hosts many festivals and events throughout the year in cooperation with various City departments, local organizations, schools, and universities.
From the Arts and Jazz Festival to the Yankee Doodle Parade, Denton has long been a popular place in the Metroplex. These events are one of the many reasons why Denton is a great place to live, work, and play.
