The fun kicks off at 5 p.m. on Thursday with DJ-hosted games designed to get attendees moving. The interactive games will be followed by live music featuring Jon Sebastian at 8 p.m.

On Friday, events resume at 9:30 a.m. with a free yoga class with Shala Loft. It will be followed by DJ-hosted games and live music in the evening.

Saturday morning will include another free yoga class with Shala Loft. The same evening, there will be a performance by the Plano Senior High School PanCats Steel Drum Band, in addition to a silent disco.

The last day of Tropics on the Tracks includes a kids archaeology dig at 1 p.m., plus more DJ-hosted games. A performance by Jimmy Buffett cover band Lost Shaker of Salt will end the festivities.
