Howdy Frisco -

Main Street's biggest party is Saturday. The Frisco Rail Yard turns 10 with three live bands, Chicken Bingo for breast cancer, and an all-day celebration from noon to midnight. Also: FC Dallas vs LAFC at 7:30PM (it's Y2K Night), Safety Saturday at Fire Safety Town, and P&Z just delayed a 21-home development near FM 423.

Here's your weekend.

๐Ÿบ Main Street's Biggest Party

The Frisco Rail Yard turns 10 this Saturday, and they're doing it right: three live bands, Chicken Bingo for breast cancer, and a 12-hour party on Main Street from noon to midnight.

Here's the lineup:

Hudsy kicks things off at 1PM. Patrick Casey & the Bad Mangos take the stage at 4PM. And Emerson closes it out from 7:30-10:30PM. Chicken Bingo - yes, the kind where a live chicken picks the winning square - starts at 4PM, with all proceeds going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. There will also be specials and giveaways throughout the day.

If you're new to Frisco and haven't been to the Rail Yard yet: it's the outdoor food truck park and beer garden at 6890 Main Street in the Rail District. It's been the unofficial living room of downtown Frisco for a decade, and Saturday is their way of saying thanks.

Frisco Rail Yard, 6890 Main St, Frisco. Saturday, Sept. 26, 12PM-12AM. Free admission.

Hereโ€™s Why Experts Say to Ditch Your Old Cutting Boards

Before you prep another meal, hereโ€™s what you need to know:

  • Plastic boards shed microplastic particles into your food with every cut.

  • Wooden boards trap moisture and food residue, the perfect breeding ground for hidden bacteria and toxic mold that transfers to your food.

๐ŸŒณ Park of the Week: Grand Park

Grand Park has one of the best playgrounds in Frisco for younger kids, a splash pad that runs through the summer, a walking trail around the perimeter, and open green space that actually stays green. It's the kind of park where you can spend two hours without realizing it, especially if you've got kids under 8 who don't want to leave the splash pad.

Grand Park, 7606 Grand Blvd, Frisco | Free | Open daily, dawn to dusk
