Mayor credits rising visitor totals, cites Major League Cricket and Epic attractions
Summary
The Mayor said Grand Prairie's attractions drew millions in visitor traffic in 2025 and highlighted Major League Cricket, Prairie Lights, and indoor/outdoor attractions as key economic drivers.
Mayor highlighted the role of attractions and large events in driving local spending and visitor traffic. He said Major League Cricket welcomed 126,000 fans in 2025 and that city attractions collectively brought millions of visitors, singling out Epic Waters and newly opened or expanded family venues as contributors.
"In 2025, we welcomed 2,600,000 unique visitors," the Mayor said, and he pointed to Prairie Lights and Traders Village as examples of high-attendance seasonal and year-round draws. Officials used these figures to argue that events and attractions support jobs, hotels and restaurants across the city.
