Addison

Because of Addison’s overwhelmingly commercial atmosphere, residents of Addison enjoy a unique lifestyle not common in other suburbs.  Residents and visitors can enjoy many Addison attractions. There are special events in Addison 29 weekends of the year. The WaterTower Theatre produces plays and musicals and hosts the annual Out of the Loop Festival. The Cavanaugh Flight Museum houses a collection of aircraft since World War I. Addison Circle Park, built in the early 2000s, is a venue for several seasonal outdoor events, such as the University of North Texas’ North Texas Jazz Fest, “Addison Artfest,” Oktoberfest, and the food exposition “Taste Addison.”  The Addison Improv Comedy Club and Restaurant brings in some of the most acclaimed comedic talent in the region. Addison is noted for being home to the original locations of both Texas de Brazil and Fogo de Chão, two Brazilian Churrascaria franchises that are both in the midst of rapid national expansion. Addison hosts one of the largest 4th of July fireworks shows, called Kaboom Town.
