New Health and Wellness Series and Levitt Concert Headline Spring Break in Downtown Arlington

Hello Spring! As you make plans to go outside and play, make some memories, and wear that sassy spring mask, here are our top ten ideas for celebrating springtime -- and Spring Break -- in Downtown Arlington.

Downtown Arlington Health and Wellness Series 

Our new Health and Wellness Series offers the best of all worlds. This four-part outdoor wellness classes is free and designed with every fitness level in mind. 

Sponsored in part by a grant from the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation, the Downtown Health and Wellness series runs from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. on four consecutive Saturdays starting March 20, 2021. The series, produced in cooperation with the Levitt Pavilion, will feature top Arlington fitness experts from Arlington Yoga Center, Camp Tuf, and the University of Texas at Arlington Department of Athletics.

“People are looking for healthy ways to recharge in both body and spirit, and to reconnect with their community,” said Maggie Campbell, President and CEO of Downtown Arlington. “By offering this free Health and Wellness Series, we hope to facilitate that feeling of connectedness and renewal. We’re so grateful to the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation for making it possible for us to offer this series.” 

Held at the Levitt Pavilion, each class is available to take both in person or virtually through live streaming. 

• In-person classes will take place on the Levitt lawn and abide by social-distancing practices. Spaces are limited, so be sure to make your reservation in advance here.
• Live-stream classes will be available through Downtown Arlington Facebook Live.

Make it a Weekend  

Here's an idea. Grab a room at the Sanford House Inn and Spa or Thornton Inn for Friday and Saturday night and make a weekend of it! Have dinner and drinks on Friday night, then start your Saturday with breakfast at the inn and yoga on the lawn. Enjoy a lazy lunch on one of your favorite Downtown patios, take a mural walk in the afternoon, then dinner and an outdoor show: the Levitt’s first in-person show of 2021.
