Temperatures are finally warming up over much of the U.S., and sunny skies and sandals are beginning to call your name. April is finally upon us and a trip during this springtime month provides an ideal chance to explore the great outdoors before it becomes too hot, too crowded, and too expensive. Here are four delightful cities worth visiting that promise to deliver on affordable off-season fun:
Clearwater Beach was just named the top beach in the country for 2018 by Trip Advisor. If that's not enough reason to visit, April is a perfect time to go before the crowds and to visit sights around the city, like Memorial Park shown here.
The fun Sugar Sand Festival runs at Pier 60 from April 13-22. The event will include a 21,000-foot tent with world-class sand sculptors displaying their art. Expect music, food, and fireworks here as well.
Magical displays, artisan crafts, music, and new perspectives are what the festival is all about. Visitors are encouraged to immerse themselves in light and explore neighborhoods around the city.
Before temperatures soar into the triple-digits, the Metroplex is an outdoor haven for festivals and outdoor activities. A walk around downtown Dallas and its various museums, green areas, and historic sights is worthy of a trip unto itself.
April is the peak time for enjoying the Bluebonnet Trail in Ennis. This city suburb embraces its small-town feel and wide-open spaces. Of course, the mighty Texas longhorns love the springtime season as well.
A festival can be found every weekend, but one not-to-be-missed is the annual Fort Worth Main Street Arts Festival, April 19-22.
