Elmo’s Got the Moves in Allen: Mostly Clear Skies & 46°F — Layer Up for a Breezy Day

Sunday, April 19 at 2:00 PM CT at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center is shaping up to be a gorgeous day for Sesame Street Live — but you’ll want to bring a jacket and prepare for some light wind.

What to Expect: Clear & Crisp

The forecast shows mostly clear skies with temperatures holding around 46°F and light north-northeast winds of 0 to 5 mph. No rain expected, which is perfect for an outdoor festival experience. However, don’t let the “clear skies” fool you into leaving your layers at home — mid-April mornings in Allen can feel chilly, especially if you’re arriving early or staying through the afternoon.

What to Wear

Start with a long-sleeve shirt or light sweater as your base. A lightweight jacket or hoodie is essential — think denim or a windbreaker that you can tie around your waist if it warms up. Comfortable layers are your friend here.

For footwear, grab a pair of comfortable walking sandals (you’ll be on your feet exploring the festival grounds) and consider socks if you run cold. Wear jeans or comfortable pants rather than shorts — the 46°F temp calls for full coverage.

Gear to Bring

Even with light winds, pack smart:

• Portable blanket waterproof — Perfect for sitting on the ground during performances or if you want an extra layer of warmth
• Clear stadium bag — Check venue rules, but most festivals allow clear bags for easy security screening
• Hydration backpack — Stay refreshed throughout the 2 PM event
• Portable phone charger 20000mah — Capture all those Elmo moments without draining your battery
• Body glitter gel — Get into the Sesame Street spirit and match Elmo’s energy!

Wind Considerations

While the 0 to 5 mph winds are light, if you’re planning a picnic setup or bringing any loose items, secure them well. Skip the wide-brimmed hats unless they’re fitted — the breeze could catch them. A bandana face cover doubles as both festival fun and wind protection if needed.

Pro Tips for Allen

Arrive early: 2 PM means peak afternoon crowds. Plan to arrive 30–45 minutes before showtime to find parking and settle in.

Sunscreen isn’t critical today given the temperature and clear (but not blazing) sun, but if you’re sensitive or plan to be outside for hours, SPF 50 sport sunscreen is always smart.

Parking: The Credit Union of Texas Event Center has ample lot parking. Arrive by 1:15 PM CT to snag a good spot.

What you can bring: Check the venue’s bag policy — most allow small backpacks and clear bags. Leave weapons, glass bottles, and professional cameras at home.

The Vibe

With mostly clear skies and no rain, you’re set for a fantastic day. The light winds mean your hair won’t be a mess, and the 46°F temp is refreshing without being uncomfortable — especially once you’re moving around.

Rep your fandom with a Sesame Street Live t-shirt under your jacket, bring your hydration backpack, and get ready to see Elmo tear up the stage. Allen’s weather is cooperating, so all you need to do is show up ready to move and groove.

See you at 2 PM CT!
