Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo’s All Western Parade Gets Modified Route After Downtown Hotel Explosion

FORT WORTH, Texas – The annual Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo’s All Western Parade is set to proceed on Saturday, albeit with slight modifications to its original route due to street closures resulting from a recent hotel explosion in downtown Fort Worth.

The parade is still scheduled to kick off at its usual starting point at Main and Weatherford streets, just south of the old Tarrant County Courthouse, at 11 a.m. However, instead of proceeding west over to Houston Street, the parade will now head east toward Commerce Street, before circling back north to Weatherford Street.

According to organizers, reserved seating locations will remain at Sundance Square and the convention center, ensuring spectators will still have prime viewing areas despite the route change.

Despite the change, the annual All Western Parade is expected to bring joy and excitement to the city, showcasing the vibrant Western heritage that Fort Worth is known for.
