About this Event
The 2026 Downtown Arlington Annual Meeting, presented by Texas Trust Credit Union, brings our community together to celebrate 20 years of progress and help shape what comes next.
Join us on Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at College Park Center for lunch, meaningful connections and a look at Downtown’s future.
Reserve your table to connect with community leaders and celebrate 20 years of Downtown Arlington.
This year’s theme, ROOTED, celebrates the ambition, culture and community partnerships that have helped Downtown grow. Together, we’ll reflect on the people and ideas that laid the foundation and explore how their work continues to come to fruition.
The program includes:
- Twenty years of Downtown Arlington: Stories celebrating the people, places and partnerships that have shaped our district.
- A look at what’s taking root: Hear from speakers about upcoming developments and new opportunities in Downtown Arlington.
- A shared vision for future growth: Explore an exhibit from UTA’s College of Architecture, Planning and Public Affairs (CAPPA) envisioning the future of Downtown.
- Community Awards: Honor the leaders whose contributions help Downtown thrive with The Dream Builder Award, presented by Texas Trust, The Legendary Lionheart and The Golden Lantern.
Whether you’re a business owner, artist, nonprofit leader or passionate resident, you’re part of the community that makes Downtown Arlington what it is today. Join us as we celebrate our roots and help shape where we grow next.
Get ROOTED, celebrate 20 years, and be part of Downtown Arlington’s next chapter!
