The Cottonwood Arts Festival and Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival will be bike friendly this May as designated bicycle parking and bicycle racks are being added outside select gates, to accommodate attendees who’d like to bike to the festival.   

At the Cottonwood Art Festival, bicycle parking and racks will be located at the main festival entrance off of Beltline Rd. At Wildflower!, bicyclists will find the bike parking area/racks outside the Cupcake Vineyards Gateway off Glenville Drive.   

The City Council has made becoming a more bicycle friendly city a priority over the past several years, with several miles of bike lanes added each year. Richardson has been designated as a Bronze Bicycle Friendly Community twice by the League of American Bicyclists since 2015 and the Council hopes to achieve Silver status in the near future.
