Fifth Annual ‘Celebrate Fate’ Boasts New Activities

(FATE, TX — September 5, 2018) The City of Fate’s annual community celebration, Celebrate Fate, is set for Saturday, Sept. 22 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at its new location, Fate City Hall, 1900 CD Boren Parkway.

The growth of the community prompted the shifting of the center of Celebrate Fate activities to the eastern portion of Robert Smith Family Park and circular parking lot of Fate City Hall. This move allows for expanded paved space for food and craft vendors and an open fireworks launching location at Robert Smith Family Park.

Celebrate Fate will feature the live music of the Mars Hill band, kids activities, a taste of Fate food sampling, 1,600 free meals from In-N-Out Burger® and an expanded craft vendor shopping experience. To conclude the festivities, fireworks set to music will fill the sky. The first five-hundred event goers can receive a free official 2018 Celebrate Fate t-shirt and swag bag.

A new Bike Derby sponsored by Fate’s own Gage Duke, Founder of Just Cuz Helmets Matter, and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Rockwall, will host a fun and educational community bike ride around Robert Smith Family Park. Starting at 4 p.m. the community is encouraged to ride their bikes to Fate City Hall where a decoration station for bikes will be available. For those who do not already have a helmet, the first few hundred riders will be fitted for a free helmet and one lucky person will take home a new bike. The derby ends at 5 p.m. just in time for the beginning of Celebrate Fate.

Bike parking is available in the front parking lot of city hall. All other parking is available at Miss May Vernon and Billie Stevenson Elementary, as well as along CD Boren Parkway.

For the fifth consecutive year, the City has hosted a community wide celebration that includes free activities thanks in large part to the support of event sponsors. This family friendly event began as a way to build community spirit among the longtime residents and the thousands of new residents that now call Fate home.
