2024 Mural Walk, October 5, 2024

10am – 3pm

Walk Begins and Ends at The LYRIC Building – 115 W. Moore Ave.

The City of Terrell, in partnership with The Terrell Chamber of Commerce, is excited to announce the annual Terrell Mural Walk on Saturday, October 5, 2024.

This year’s event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in historic downtown Terrell and will celebrate the 125th anniversary of the first automobile drive in Texas. On October 5, 1899, Colonel Green took his new horseless carriage from Terrell to the State Fair of Texas in Dallas, marking a significant milestone in automotive history.

Participants are invited to enjoy a variety of activities, including the creation of a paint-by-number mural, an art show at the LYRIC Art Cafe and Venue, and an antique car show—all set in the charming Historic Downtown Terrell.

The day will be filled with entertainment, featuring a DJ at the event, and the Dave Washburn Jazz Band headlining at 2:00 p.m. It will be a fantastic day of family fun and celebration!

Attendees will begin their experience at the LYRIC Building, located at 115 W. Moore Ave, where they will receive a Mural Passport. They will have the opportunity to explore local art, interact with community members, and participate in various activities.

“This year’s event is set to be an exciting celebration of Terrell’s rich history and community,” said Chamber Tourism Director Sharon Harper. “We’re thrilled to offer a range of activities that highlight our town’s unique heritage and bring people together for a day of fun and creativity.”

Local merchants will also be participating, offering special sales and promotions throughout the event. Additionally, signage throughout the Historic Downtown area will guide visitors to various attractions, including a directory of downtown businesses, the Discover Terrell website, a Visitor’s Guide, and the Discover Terrell GeoTour site.

“The City of Terrell and Chamber of Commerce are eager to host this year’s celebration,” Harper added. “We look forward to welcoming both our local residents and visitors who are interested in exploring the rich history and vibrant culture of our city.”
