People come to Richardson for all kinds of reasons: arts performances, business meetings, weddings, festivals or sports tournaments. They might come to Richard-son because they find reasonably priced hotels in a central location where everything is accessible. For whatever reason they come the first time, they keep coming back for the friendly people, the outstanding

City services and amenities and the relaxed conve-nience the City offers in the middle of the bustle that is the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Because Richardson is just minutes away from two major airports and has easy access to three major thoroughfares and four light rail stations, meeting in Richardson is as easy and fun as staying, playing and returning.

Richardson has a unique blend of people and cultures and is committed to supporting the arts, leisure, entertain-ment and programs that foster artistic

diversity. The Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and Corporate Presentations attracts people throughout North Texas to concerts, theater and business meetings. The Richardson Symphony Orchestra, Richardson Community Band, Richardson Theatre Centre, Repertory Company Theatre, Chamber Music International, and Richardson Civic Art Society are just a few performing and visual arts groups that make up the cultural fabric of Richardson.

Art, food, music and good times are available in abundance to

visitors at all times of year. Spring and fall are times of especially nice weather in Richardson and special festivals, such as the Cottonwood Art Festival, held on the first full weekends of May and October. The City’s famous Wildflower! Arts and Music Festival is held the third weekend of May and the fun Huffhines Art Trails Festival is held in late October. Throughout the year, the City offers abundant, beautiful park space, spacious hike and bike trails, two terrific municipal golf courses and baseball/softball and tennis facilities galore. Also, Rich-ardson arts groups schedule a variety of events and performances each year as do the University of Texas at Dallas and Richland College.
