In the blink of an eye, it already seems that summer break is winding down and North Texas students will head back to school soon. Check out the directory for McKinney’s #1 hotspot for family fun, District 121, if you’re looking for fun ways to celebrate the last days of summer. With a myriad of restaurants, art events, live music and more, there’s something for everyone in Collin County and the surrounding areas to enjoy. Let’s look at how to celebrate the kids returning to school, and send them back with great memories and joy.
District 121 Offers Entertainment, Live Music, Events & More
Throughout the summer and all year long, District 121 is an ideal place to plan for family fun or solo enjoyment. What can you do with the kids to bring the academic break to a close and prepare them for the new school year?
Get a Bite as a Family
Restaurants like The Common Table and Pie Tap Pizza are great places for a family meal where the kids can discuss what they’re looking forward to in the new school year. The cozy atmosphere of both locations and the delicious food makes it easy to share ideas and create plans together.
Take in Texas (And More) Tunes
A great way to wind down summer is with music. District 121 also excels when it comes to enjoying free live music in McKinney. From cover bands to karaoke and touring national acts, you can enjoy music under the stars on the lawn of The Commons. The state-of-the-art lighting and audio on our central stage can be seen from the restaurant patios along the perimeter too. Get to know a new favorite musician together!
Get Physically Refreshed
Each month, District 121 partners with local gyms or fitness studios to offer free fitness classes in our courtyard. Exercises like yoga and pilates are safe and beneficial for school-aged children as well, helping them develop good posture and a love for physical activity. These exercises also help develop the ability to focus mentally. Keep up with our events calendar for the next class.
Taste the World
The children aren’t the only ones who want to celebrate their return to class. Parents need time to relax and unwind too. Whether you’re looking for a perfect spot for date night, want to get away alone, or have a night out with just the guys or girls, District 121 has something for you. Shun, one of our restaurant offerings, allows Collin County residents to have a Japanese dining experience right here in McKinney. They offer traditional cuisine with a contemporary twist. It’s a great way for parents to celebrate the end of summer break.
Spending time together with the kids is one of the best ways to celebrate the back-to-school season. Whether you want to participate in physical activities like exercise and shopping, or more relaxed ones like a night under the stars and a meal together (that you don’t have to prepare), you’ll find incredible events at McKinney’s favorite and soon-to-be-expanded location for fun.
