          THE THIRD 
          [Epic Art Art and Music Festival 2023]
WEEKEND IN SEPTEMBER BROUGHT SOME GREAT FALL WEATHER TO GRAND PRAIRIE AND SET THE STAGE FOR THE CITY'S FIRST ANNUAL EPIC ART AND MUSIC FESTIVAL. 
          COME, COMES ALONG AND WRECKS EVERYONE AND YOU PLANS BUILD AS AN UNFORGETTABLE WEEKEND OF CREATIVITY, ENTERTAINMENT, AND ADVENTURE. 
          AND BUILT TO SHOWCASE THE CITY'S SPECTACULAR EPIC CENTRAL DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX AND ITS WATERFRONT BOARDWALK, WHERE DOZENS OF ARTISTS AND ART VENDORS FROM GRAND PRAIRIE AND NORTH TEXAS GOT THE CHANCE TO SHOW OFF THEIR SKILLS WHILE DISPLAYING SOME EYE-CATCHING ART. 
          AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL THE JAMBOX CONCERT STAGE WITH A FULL SLATE OF MUSICAL ARTISTS AND LIVE PERFORMANCES OVER THE TWO DAYS, INCLUDING THE DAZZLING DEBUT OF AN ORIGINAL MUSIC VIDEO FROM GRAND PRAIRIE ZONE, TEJAS BROTHERS PROJECTED INTO THE FOUNTAINS OF EPIC CENTRAL'S EXHILARATING EUV WATER LIGHT SHOW EXPERIENCE DURING THEIR HEADLINE PERFORMANCE ON SATURDAY NIGHT IN FRONT OF A HUGE HOMETOWN CROWD, A TRULY EPIC WAY TO ANNOUNCE THE ARRIVAL OF WHAT THE CITY HOPES WILL BECOME A MUST SEE FALL FESTIVAL. 
          THIS ALL STARTED WITH COUNCIL MEMBER HEDON, COUNCIL MEMBER LOPEZ, WHO HAD THIS VISION AND THIS IDEA. 
          AND I LIKE TO THINK THAT NOT ONLY DID WE ACHIEVE WHAT THEY WANTED, WE HOPEFULLY EXCEEDED THAT IN A LOT OF OTHER AREAS, BUT ULTIMATELY THEIR IDEA AND THEIR GOAL WAS TO HAVE A NICE FALL FESTIVAL FOCUSED ON ART. 
          THAT'S FOR THE CITIZENS OF GRAND PRAIRIE. 
          THIS IS THE FIRST FESTIVAL THAT EPIC IS HAVING HERE. 
          AND TO HAVE IT BE ABOUT ARTS, THAT'S REALLY SPECIAL TO ME. 
          I'M AN ARTIST MYSELF. 
          I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT THE ARTS AND BRINGING ARTS RIGHT HERE TO GRAND PRAIRIE MAKES SENSE. 
          WHERE ELSE IN THE METROPLEX WHERE YOU'RE GONNA GET THE WATER SHOW CHOREOGRAPHED IN MUSIC WITH BEAUTIFUL ART ALL AROUND IT? THIS IS ONE OF A KIND, KING SAYS THAT 60 ARTISTS PARTICIPATED IN THIS YEAR'S FIRST ANNUAL FESTIVAL.
