Dallas/Fort Worth is the sixth most racially diverse metropolitan area in the United States and one of the most ethnically diverse places in the nation. Source
Fort Worth has a proud place among America’s most progressive cities. Each year, diverse communities come together for multicultural events that celebrate our rich heritage.
Explore the varied offerings of Fort Worth’s famous “Cowboys and Culture,” where our nation’s Western heritage and multicultural arts meet. World-class museums, a broad spectrum of live music, a range of ethnic cuisine offerings and historic architecture make Fort Worth the cultural destination of the Southwest.
Fort Worth is also home to the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum, which celebrates the contributions of Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, European Americans and African Americans in the settlement of the Western American Frontier.
The Rose Marine Theater is a historic Fort Worth treasure dedicated to preserving, promoting and interpreting the art, culture and history of the Latin community. Originally a movie house that opened in the 1920s, the Rose Marine Theater is now managed by the non-profit Artes de la Rosa organization and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The ADLR has a growing roster of programs that serve a diverse community both in the Rose Marine Theater and in the community at large.
Q-Cinema, which celebrates alternative lifestyles, also started here and is Fort Worth’s longest running film festival.
