Hosted by Arts of Collin County.
The Six City Trail is a joint effort of the cities of Allen, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Garland and Richardson to create a regional connected trail system. This portion of the Trail Project is funded in part through the Collin County Park & Open Space Bond Program.
The Arts of Collin County includes a Performing Arts Center that will accommodate touring Broadway shows, national children’s performers, symphony events, area dance, theater and vocal companies, school activities, educational, family and business needs within north Texas. The large performance meadow including a concert lawn, which will accommodate up to 3,000 people, is nestled among mature trees with natural seating for families and friends to spread out a blanket on the grass and enjoy a picnic and listen to a concert, view a performance or watch an outdoor film or simulcast of an event inside the hall. The grounds include a sculpture garden and hike/bike trail.
The Arts of Collin County is a public private partnership co-owned by the cities of Allen, Frisco and Plano, with operational support from Fairview and Melissa and financial support from private individuals, corporations and foundations.
