Grand Prairie Gets New Street Art Days Before Festival

Grand Prairie wants residents to walk on a little bit of sunshine -- in a new, colorful crosswalk.

The new artwork, which comes days before the city’s 7th annual Main Street Fest, will be installed Tuesday in a crosswalk near Main Street at 2nd Street in downtown Grand Prairie.

The design by Dallas artist Ricardo Paniagua will be added at 8:30 a.m. It's a part of the city’s initiative to redevelop downtown.

The colorful mosaic-like pattern will cross 2nd Street east to west from the Grand Prairie Farmer’s Market to the Grand Prairie Municipal Court.

Main Street Fest is a three day event starting on Friday with music, arts & crafts vendors, entertainment, food, drinks and family activities. Headlining artists are country singers Wade Bowen, Josh Turner and Latin band La Mafia.
