The Highland Village Parks and Recreation Department confirmed a free teen bonfire event on March 7 at Copperas Branch Park for ages 13–18, running from 6 to 9 p.m., and capped at 100 participants for safety.
"We're gonna cap it at 100 people just for safety reasons with the lake right there," Andrew, recreation staff, told the board on Feb. 17. Staff said the event elements include a bonfire, hay bales, inflatables (described as an inflatable mechanical‑bull), s'mores and other activities. Police and fire will be present to assist with safety and logistics.
Promotions will include the city water bill insert, the city website, Instagram and Facebook and targeted emails to school principals in Highland Village. Staff said bandit signs will be placed on trails and near schools to reach scooter‑ and trail‑using teens.
If more than 100 people arrive, staff said police will post signage stating "event full" and monitor entry. Parents may drop off or remain at the event; staff said the gate under the bridge will be used for parking and an officer will count attendees.
