Hippie, by Lexis Thompson, celebrates the Texas International Pop Festival, a large music festival held in Lewisville on Labor Day weekend of 1969.

This hippie can be found, playing the tambourine, near the stage in Wayne Ferguson Plaza.

Lewisville Sculpture Series - Hop Into History is a series of life-sized bronze jackrabbit sculptures made into various anthropomorphic characters to portray historically significant events in Lewisville. Hop Into History includes six sculptures in five locations throughout Old Town. The City engaged the University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design to create a multi-unit, small-scale sculpture series for this public art project. The sculpture concepts and clay modeling were completed by selected student artists, and the casting and finishing work on each sculpture was completed by David and Martin Iles of Bolivar Bronze.
