As storms move through North Texas last week, multiple Plano events are adjusting their schedules to ensure safety and preserve the full experience for attendees.
RIP Fest Moved to Oct. 30
Due to the forecasted weather, organizers of RIP Fest have made the “incredibly tough decision” to reschedule the annual Downtown celebration to Thursday, Oct. 30, from 5–10 p.m. The event will still take place along 15th Street, which will be closed during those hours.
“For the Love of Art” postponed
The ArtCentre of Plano’s “For the Love of Art” event—originally set for Saturday, Oct. 25—has been postponed to Saturday, Nov. 8, at 6 p.m.
All planned programming, including the art exhibition, sale, and special evening celebrating community creativity, will proceed as scheduled on the new date. Art lovers can preview the works online and in the ArtCentre galleries beginning Oct. 25.
St. Andrew’s “Cars for Community” Car Show rescheduled to April
Meanwhile, the 9th Annual St. Andrew “Cars for Community” Car Show has moved from Oct. 25 to April 18, from 9–11:30 a.m. at St. Andrew Methodist Church (5801 W. Plano Parkway).
This year’s “Cars and Coffee”–themed event benefits The Storehouse Community Center, which supports neighbors across Collin, Dallas, and Denton counties. Admission and vehicle entry are free, and attendees can enjoy breakfast, raffles, and silent auctions, with proceeds benefiting The Storehouse’s programs.
“We’re thrilled to roll out a new format this year—no entry fees, just a great opportunity to come together and support a cause that truly matters,” said event organizer Ron Weaver. “By focusing on donations and sponsorships, it is our hope that even more funds will be raised to benefit The Storehouse and its mission to serve our neighbors with dignity and compassion. It’s going to be an incredible morning for car lovers and the community alike.”
