At a World Series Victory Parade in the Entertainment District on Friday, Nov. 3, 2023, the City of Arlington extends an invitation to supporters from all across North Texas to celebrate the Texas Rangers, the 2023 World Champions. Anyone can attend the free event.
“It has taken five decades for the Texas Rangers to win the World Series,” stated Arlington Mayor Jim Ross. In the midst of what was then a sleepy bedroom suburb in the Metroplex, Mayor Tom Vandergriff traveled to Washington, D.C, and persuaded the Washington Senators to change their name to the Texas Rangers and relocate there. After 51 years in Arlington, the Rangers have remained with them. Our assistance in the construction of three stadiums here has been returned year after year by the Rangers’ unwavering dedication to the community, which has also received support from the city councils and the community. They gave a World Series championship in return this year. This Friday, we encourage fans to visit the Entertainment District and really savor the occasion, take it all in, and enjoy themselves.
