The Town of Sunnyvale is excited to announce that two rising stars in country music will take the stage for the Town’s Sunnyfest Celebration on Saturday, June 27, 2026.


Austin, Texas native George Birge will bring his musical style to Sunnyfest, along with Georgia’s own Scoot Teasley, who was a hit with local crowds at last year’s event. Their unique musical talents will be part of a great evening of live music, fireworks, drone show, food and family fun.


The Sunnyfest Celebration will begin at 6 p.m. at Town Center Park, 356 E. Tripp Road. Admission is FREE!


Learn more about Sunnyfest 2026, including sponsorship opportunities, on the event website.

2025 Annual Report


The Town of Sunnyvale's 2025 Annual Report is on its way to residential mailboxes and is now available on the Town website.


This report features the Town's significant accomplishments in 2025 and looks ahead to goals and projected outcomes for 2026.


The Town Council will premiere the 2025 State of the Town video during its March 23 meeting. It will be posted to the Town website and social channels following that showing.

Annual Water System Maintenance Underway


The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) will temporarily change the disinfectant in its water treatment process from March 2 - 30, 2026. The annual, routine change is necessary to maintain the regional system and year-round water quality.


Disinfection is a critical part of the water treatment process that keeps drinking water free of harmful microorganisms, such as parasites and viruses.


For more information, visit the NTMWD website.

Charter Amendment Election

Voter Registration Deadline: April 2


Sunnyvale voters will consider a slate of proposed Town Charter amendments on May 2. Many of these updates would bring the Charter into compliance with State law updates, address any legal or administrative issues, and improve the effective application of the Charter to current conditions.


The proposed amendments include the creation of a Parks and Recreation Board and the requirement for a Library Board, which currently exists.


The proposed amendments also include term limits for the Mayor and Town Council members and would change the Mayor's term from two years to three years.


To vote in the May 2 election, voters must be registered by Thursday, April 2, 2026. Early voting will begin on Monday, April 20 and run through Tuesday, April 28.


For more information about the Charter Amendment election, visit the Town Secretary's page on the website.

Say Hello to Slate!

Slate is a two-year-old mixed breed: Slate is a lovable boy with lots of personality. He has a great attitude and loves being active with the staff but doesn’t mind chilling out and sleeping. He would do best in a high-energy home to channel his drive or a large property to explore, preferably without small children. His active nature makes him very jumpy around people. Once trained, he is the perfect dog to own.


We would love for you to share this with others and bring awareness to the Sunnyvale Animal Shelter's animals and services. If your family is ready to welcome a new member, we currently have many adoptable pets in our shelter looking for a loving home. Learn more by visiting our Petfinder page or calling (214) 862-4525.
