Lewisville will mark its 100th birthday in 2025, and the City is gearing up for a year-long celebration.
This city has a distinguished history that members of the Centennial Celebration Committee are working hard to highlight and celebrate in 2025.
Get ready to see a lot more of this logo around town as announcements are made about new centennial related activities. There will be a special Centennial information and merchandise booth set up at Old Town Holiday Stroll for residents to learn more about what’s coming up.
In December, the City will launch a new Lewisville Centennial website where visitors will be able to learn about the history of this great city, see historic artifacts, buy centennial-related merchandise if they want, and share their own memories of Lewisville.
Planned activities during the celebration include self-guided walking tours in historic Old Town Lewisville, with sidewalk markers for the Old Town Discoveries route, a Lewisville Landmarks route, and the Lewisville Public Art Collection. A series of guided tours also is planned, with dates being announced in December. The City also is commissioning an original play to share the Lewisville story, with public performances planned for next fall.
A new granite marker will be added to the Church Street Heritage Walk alongside Wayne Ferguson Plaza on Jan. 15, which is the date of Lewisville’s incorporation. The committee also is working to recognize other historical sites around the city.
Other Centennial activities will include a citywide picnic, historical exhibits, an outdoor photo prop, recreations of historical Lewisville photos, and much more. Tickets already are on sale for the Peacherine Ragtime Orchestra Society performance at Lewisville Grand Theater on March 7.
