Here in Texas “Grand Slam” applies to more than just baseball; we have Grand Slam Communities. The Grand Slam Community title is earned by a city's participation in securing four community certifications in Film, Music, Digital Media, and Tourism-Friendly. Cedar Park, Texas is the first to receive the Digital Media Friendly recognition and the 3rd Texas community to achieve the title of a Grand Slam. By leveraging these state certifications, we aim to feature Cedar Park as a must-visit destination in Texas. This effort showcases the local ecosystems of music, film, digital media and tourism to attract and appeal to a diverse audience of visitors. This means authentic experiences like family-friendly entertainment where you can create core memories for you and your little ones, concerts where you find your next “on-repeat” song, nature outlets to go on a wild(erness) adventure, and everything in-between for spontaneous moments.
