The recent meeting of Visit McKinney on June 24, 2025, highlighted several key community events and significant organizational changes. The meeting began with a celebration of the successful Juneteenth event, which attracted over 2,000 attendees and featured a first-ever drone show that impressed the crowd. The team behind the event received commendations for their hard work and dedication.

Looking ahead, the organization is preparing for the upcoming "Red, White, and Boom" fireworks show. Due to ongoing construction at the original site, the fireworks will now be launched from a barge on Town Lake, promising a spectacular display accompanied by music and shuttle services for attendees.

In addition to these events, the meeting addressed the summer programs available at local recreation centers, with over a thousand activities planned to engage families in the community.

A notable moment in the meeting was the recognition of Beth, a long-standing member of Visit McKinney, who is set to retire after nearly 18 years of service. Her contributions to the organization and the community were celebrated, with colleagues expressing gratitude for her dedication and historical knowledge of McKinney. A farewell celebration is planned for July, where her impact on the organization will be further honored.

Overall, the meeting underscored the vibrant community spirit in McKinney, with a focus on upcoming events and a heartfelt farewell to a key figure in the organization.
