Elmo’s Got the Moves in Allen: Sunny 74°F — Perfect Spring Festival Weather
Sunday, April 19 at 2:00 PM CT | Credit Union of Texas Event Center
Mark your calendars: Elmo’s Got the Moves is happening under perfect spring conditions. Sunny skies, a mild 74°F, and virtually zero chance of rain means this Sesame Street Live festival is shaping up to be an absolute blast for the whole family.
What to Expect Weather-Wise
You’re looking at textbook Texas spring weather. The forecast calls for sunny conditions all afternoon with light east-northeast winds (0-5 mph). No rain in sight, so you can leave the umbrella at home. The temperature will hover right around 74°F — warm enough that you won’t need a jacket, but cool enough that you won’t be melting in the sun.
The real story here? Sunshine. Lots of it. That means UV protection is non-negotiable.
What to Wear
Dress in layers you can shed. Start with:
- Light, breathable clothing (t-shirt, shorts, or sundress)
- Comfortable walking sandals to keep your feet happy during the festival
- A light long-sleeve shirt or cardigan (just in case)
- A hat or visor to shield your face from direct sun
Rep your fandom with a Sesame Street Live t-shirt — grab one at the merch stand or wear your favorite character gear to get in the spirit.
Essential Gear to Pack
With 6+ hours of outdoor festival time, here’s what you actually need:
Sun Protection: Slather on SPF 50 sport sunscreen before you arrive and reapply every 2 hours. Seriously — sunburns aren’t fun, and Texas sun is no joke.
Hydration: Grab a hydration backpack to keep water accessible while you’re dancing and watching performances. You’ll thank yourself when you’re not hunting for a water station.
Phone Power: A portable phone charger 20000mah ensures you can snap photos of Elmo all day without dying mid-show.
Comfort Items: Bring a foldable camping chair so you can rest between acts. A portable blanket waterproof is perfect for sitting on grass if needed.
Festival Vibes: Add some body glitter gel to match Elmo’s energy, and toss a clear stadium bag in your car for easy entry (most venues require clear bags for security).
Practical Festival Tips
Arrival: Get there early — aim for 1:00 PM CT to snag good spots and avoid crowds.
What You Can Bring: Check the venue’s bag policy, but generally: water bottles, snacks, blankets, chairs, sunscreen, and small bags are A-OK.
Parking: The Credit Union of Texas Event Center has plenty of parking, but it fills up on event days. Arrive 45 minutes early to grab a close spot.
Wind Consideration: While winds are minimal (0-5 mph), if you’re bringing a pop-up canopy tent with weights or setting up any outdoor furniture, secure it well with a bungee cord assortment. Better safe than sorry.
Bottom Line
This is the perfect weather forecast for a family festival. No rain delays, no extreme heat, just pure Sesame Street fun under blue skies. Pack your sunscreen, hydration backpack, and a good attitude — Elmo’s ready to move, and so should you be.
See you in Allen!
