About Denton, TX
Denton is one of North Texas's most vibrant and authentic small cities: a university town with a genuine arts and music culture that stands apart from the DFW Metroplex's suburban sprawl. Home to the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University, Denton has built a thriving craft brewery scene, independent music venues, eclectic dining, and one of the best courthouse squares in Texas. The Denton Arts & Jazz Festival (spring) and the 35 Denton music festival are both nationally recognized events. At 18 miles and about 30 minutes from Waggin' Tail Ranch, Denton is the perfect evening out.
