Driving Around Denton, Texas in 4k Video

Filmed on Saturday, February 7 2026, I drive around Denton, TX to see what's going on. Both the county and the town were named for John B. Denton, a preacher and lawyer who was killed in 1841 during a skirmish with the Kichai people. Denton is home to several annual artistic and cultural events that cater to residents and tourists. The annual North Texas State Fair and Rodeo began in 1928 and promotes Texas's cowboy culture. The city-sponsored Denton Arts and Jazz Festival attracts over 200,000 people each year for live music, food, crafts, and recreation at Civic Center Park. The Denton Square is a cultural and political hub of the city. The square is populated by local shops and restaurants, some of which have been in business since the 1940s. During October, the square is generally decorated for Halloween, with large installations such as a set of tentacles that are placed on one of the buildings. The town’s focus on Halloween has garnered widespread attention, leading the Texas Legislature to name Denton as the official “Halloween Capital of Texas”. #drivingtour #dentontexas #dentontx
