Learn Lewisville

The City of Lewisville is inviting residents to Learn Lewisville, a public event to learn about exciting ways to engage with their community, Saturday, April 6, 1-5 p.m., at Thrive, 1950 S. Valley Parkway.

This free, family-friendly event, created as part of the Community Engagement Committee, is designed to help residents learn ways to engage their neighbors, learn about City programs to help spruce up and revitalize their homes and neighborhoods, and learn about ways to engage and use what city departments have to offer Lewisville residents.
