From culture to community to craft, the third annual Summerfest promises a refreshing and cool take on entertainment in North Texas.

Culture
There’s never a better time than summer to catch up on your reading list. Live! by Loews – Arlington and Loews Arlington Hotel have launched an exclusive summer celebration with TODAY’s Read with Jenna, Jenna Bush Hager’s esteemed book club. Embracing the burgeoning trend of indulging in literary escapes while on vacation, guests can access a handpicked Summer(fest) Reading List, all curated by Jenna herself.
As part of this celebration, guests will enjoy the convenience of purchasing books through Shop TODAY, providing the flexibility to stock up in advance or acquire e-books and audiobooks during their stay. This initiative, which will include additional touchpoints, including curated kids’ reading lists and access to Jenna’s summer travel picks, aims to encourage exploration within and beyond hotel walls.

Community
At Loews Hotels, it’s all about the local community and making guests feel like family. This summer, Loews Hotels in Arlington are proud to launch Local by Loews Hotels — a new program designed to celebrate the unique culture, flavors, and hardworking individuals of each destination. Through exclusive partnerships and pop-ups with local businesses, guests will have the opportunity to indulge in authentic experiences that highlight the best of the local community year-round.
At Live! By Loews – Arlington, guests can savor the flavors of Arlington from a vessel that doubles as art.

The exhibit is free and open to the public for viewing. Art will be changed bi-annually.

Craft
Loews Hotels launched Free Spirited by Loews Hotels earlier this year, which offers craft libations focusing on locally sourced ingredients and unique flavor combinations sans-booze, and Summerfest 2024 will offer revamped beverage offerings to enjoy this summer season as part of this initiative. Using the same care, attention to detail, and local flavors guests know and love, the on-site beverage talent will refresh their free-spirited creations with seasonal ingredients.
