On Thursday, March 29th, at 11am, The Star in Frisco will host a weekend celebration for the “Grand Opening of the Entertainment District” including live entertainment, special appearances, dining and shopping specials and notable prizes for the public. Members of the Jones family and Mayor of Frisco, Jeff Cheney, will host a ribbon cutting media event for the Entertainment District.
Throughout the entire weekend, Winning Drive, Star Boulevard, and Cowboys Way will be closed off to cars, creating a family-friendly environment that is fun for all ages.
A special concert featuring country artist Pat Green will kick off the evening festivities on March 29 (updates to follow) with other events throughout the weekend from March 29th – April 1st, including a free Dallas Cowboys football academy, Frisco ISD student specials, a Saturday Easter service from Prestonwood Baptist Church, performances by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and Dallas Cowboys Rhythm and Blue, and special promotions provided by participating retailers.
Each day, participating retailers will offer promotions and prizes with the opportunity for attendees to win a grand prize – a luxury suite experience for them and their guests during a Dallas Cowboys preseason game.
Events and activities scheduled throughout the weekend include restaurant specials, live Dallas Cowboys podcasts (“These Boots Are Made For Talkin’, The Break, Talkin’ Cowboys and The Draft Show) and TV show (The Blitz: The Dallas Cowboys Report), special appearances by Rowdy and the Easter Bunny, live entertainment and music, an Easter Egg Hunt, and more.
Mayor Jeff Cheney says…
We’re thrilled to be taking the next step in connecting Frisco and its citizens to the heart of our new Dallas Cowboys economy. The Star campus represents premier destination dining, great patios, open spaces, and walkability to all venues bringing unique live, work, and play venues to fruition in Frisco.”
