Classic tastes of summer shine in this week’s list, from seasonal sangria and Italian spritzes to good old fashioned barbecue ribs. A heatwave is also a good time for ice cream, and it's sweeter if it's free. End the week with a taste of authentic Peruvian cuisine.
But when one bar door closes, another opens, as witnessed by a half-dozen new bar openings across Fort Worth in recent weeks. The lineup includes a couple of snazzy golf-themed “eatertainment” venues, two new Stockyards hot spots backed by longtime local hospitality veterans, and two new West 7th District hangs for sports, bar food, cocktails, and shots.

Peak summer in Texas means watermelons are at their ripest, and one farmers market will celebrate the seasonal fruit with a two-day festival featuring more than 20 varieties. On the pairing dinners front this week, tequila, mezcal, and wines from the largest Black-owned wine company in the US are on the menu. So is a classic fast-food ice cream treat from which sales on Thursday will benefit a good cause.
Harvest season is here, which means wineries are prepping to pick grapes at their most plump, juiciest state. One local winery is celebrating the season with a traditional grape stomp that's now in its 19th year. Ice cream is also big this week - one event pairs it with wine and another gives back proceeds from sales to support local children's hospitals. Celebrate the opening of a new local Chick-fil-A, and save room for a dumpling and spirits pairing and boat-themed drinks and eats.

August has arrived, which means its time for one of Fort Worth's biggest dine-out fundraisers. The 30th annual DFW Restaurant Week includes more than 150 participants across Dallas-Fort Worth this year, giving patrons a chance enjoy specially priced multi-course features that give back to a good cause. Keep the summer fun going strong with a margarita festival and a "mamacita" brunch featuring mimosa towers and dance lessons.
The 30th annual dine-out fundraiser, DFW Restaurant Week, kicks off its preview weekend this Thursday before its official start on Monday. More than 150 restaurants are participating this year, and many well beyond the "week" straight through Labor Day weekend. Other opportunities to dine well on the list include a Michelin-starred chef dinner, an after-hours tasting party, and an excuse to enjoy boozy root beer floats for charity.
Fort Worth is full of tasty events this week, from a rosé patio party to a national steinholding competition qualifier with German food and drink. There are also opportunities for some culinary education, from how to cook with Hatch chiles to simmering risotto at a supper club. Kids can also learn how to make stromboli at a pizza parlor. Save room for a Hatch chile brunch come Sunday, then end the week with a sunset sculpt class paired with bubbly at a wine bar.
A mid-week back-to-school brunch for moms kicks things off, followed by a chef collaboration dinner, a French afternoon tea, and a chance to break an unofficial world record for the largest group to slam a classic Irish cocktail at the same time. Dress up for a red carpet anniversary party on Saturday - Sicilian style - with a celeb chef.
