Sundance Square

downtown Fort Worth · 1867 · Chisholm Trail cattle drives

What you'll hear here: about 90 seconds on Sundance Square — how it came to be, who it mattered to, and what to look for while you're standing in front of it.

Sundance Square spreads across 35 blocks of downtown Fort Worth, Texas, a commercial, residential, entertainment and retail district where you now walk. Named after the Sundance Kid in western folklore, it has become a lively hub, popular for nightlife and entertainment in Fort Worth and for tourists visiting the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Owned by Fine Line investments, a division of billionaire Ed Bass's investment funds, the district gathers hotels, restaurants, condos, lofts, shops, museums, bars, clubs, a movie theatre, and spaces for performing arts, concerts and festivals throughout the year.

As you look around you'll see the former downtown Woolworth's Building and the Burk Burnett Building, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and a mural that commemorates the Fort Worth segment of the Chisholm Trail cattle drives of 1867-1875. The Bass Performance Hall anchors this cultural mix, giving the district its performing-arts heart. Whether you're here for an evening out or to explore on a sunny afternoon, Sundance Square's blend of historic landmarks, lively venues, and everyday urban life invites you to linger.

The mural, the Bass Performance Hall, and the historic buildings frame this vibrant block just ahead of you.
