More than 85,000 attendees from more than 30 countries will descend upon Dallas for MegaFest 2015, hosted by T.D. Jakes, from August 20 to 22. The three–day festival is returning to Dallas after tremendous success in 2013. During MegaFest 2013, more than 75,000 attendees from 20 states and 31 countries visited the Downtown Dallas Business District, bringing an estimated economic impact of more than $41 million.
“MegaFest harkens back to a simpler time when families spent quality time together,” said T.D.

It is also a great opportunity to showcase the best that Dallas has to offer — from its dynamic business community, to its arts and entertainment to its renowned shopping, restaurants and hospitality venues. MegaFest is a can’t–miss opportunity for all.”
