Thanksgiving Events, Holiday Shows, and Public Safety Alerts - Fort Worth Local Pulse

Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Thursday, November 27th, 2025. We're heading into Thanksgiving Day with plenty to do around the metroplex if you're looking to get out of the house. The weather is treating us well today, so that's good news for anyone venturing out this holiday. Speaking of which, this weekend is shaping up to be packed with events. The North Pole Express is running from Grapevine Vintage Railroad starting tomorrow, offering families festive train rides with Christmas sing-alongs and visits from Santa. If you're in the mood for something different, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is screening a film called The Thing with Feathers, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. It's about a man dealing with grief and reality after losing his wife. That's showing seven times through Sunday. For the holiday lovers out there, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra kicks off their Home for the Holidays performances tomorrow and Saturday at Bass Performance Hall. Families can enjoy Christmas carols and wave to Santa as the orchestra plays all those classic holiday tunes. Meanwhile, if you prefer the circus arts, Cirque Étendue is presenting Lumière d'Hiver at the United Performing Arts Company in Pantego. It's a story about a young dancer facing her first Christmas without family, and it looks like a real crowd pleaser. Music fans have options too. Country artist Drake Milligan, who's an Arlington native and appeared on America's Got Talent, is playing at Billy Bob's Texas tomorrow night. Then on Saturday, Stoney LaRue, a Texas country and Red Dirt artist, is also performing at Billy Bob's. Now, a heads up on public safety. Fort Worth police are asking for your help identifying an armed burglar who's been targeting apartment complexes in broad daylight. This suspect has been breaking into multiple units between mid-morning and early afternoon, smashing through sliding glass doors and carrying a gun. Police released clear surveillance photos and are asking anyone with information to contact Detective Dunn at eight one seven three nine two forty two twenty two. On the cultural front, we're getting down to the wire on a couple of important exhibitions. The Amon Carter Museum's show called East of the Pacific, which explores Asian American contributions to American art, closes this Sunday. It's featuring work from over thirty artists and is definitely worth seeing while you still can. One more thing to note, the Fort Worth Community Arts Center in the Cultural District remains closed and continues to need significant repairs. City officials recently decided against leasing it to TCU for temporary use, so the future of that beloved arts space remains up in the air. As always, we want to remind you to stay safe out there, especially with the holiday season upon us. Take care of your neighbors, and we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
