Fort Worth, Texas Weather in April

April weather

April feels warm and comfortable for exploring Fort Worth, with mild evenings and plenty of daylight. The average high is 26°C, but rain falls on about eight days, so showers can interrupt outdoor plans. The Trinity Trails work well when paths are dry, while the Kimbell Art Museum is a good rainy-day stop.

May is hotter and wetter, so April is a pleasant time to mix museums, patios and walks. Still, don't count on an entire day outdoors: afternoon showers can make a long stroll around the Fort Worth Botanic Garden less appealing.

Events and crowds

The Main Street Arts Festival usually brings artists, food and live music to downtown Fort Worth in April. It's a fun reason to visit, but the festival draws crowds and can make nearby streets busier. Easter also sometimes falls in April, bringing holiday visitors and family events.

If you hate crowds, visit the Stockyards on a weekday rather than during a festival weekend. The area's cattle drive and shops are popular year-round, and weekends tend to feel livelier.

Costs and local tips

March and April are among Fort Worth's best months, so you'll share comfortable spring weather with plenty of other visitors. Expect more competition for hotel rooms during big festival weekends than in quieter summer weeks, though summer brings tougher heat. November is another popular month, with cooler weather.

Travelling with kids? Pair the Stockyards with the nearby Fort Worth Herd cattle drive, then head indoors if rain rolls in. For a relaxed evening, try dinner in the Near Southside, where you can find local favourites like chicken-fried steak. Check the Main Street Arts Festival route before driving downtown; road closures can change your usual approach.
