Summer kicks off with a lineup of exciting events in North Texas. Concerts, markets, and sporting events make it easy to celebrate and welcome sunnier days.
DALLAS — Summer officially arrives this Saturday, and the best way to celebrate is with some summer-suited events and activities this weekend.
When you think of summer, does country concerts, ice cream, and sporting events with friends not come to mind? With sunny skies and triple-digit temperatures on the forecast, there’s no better time to get out of the house and experience it all.
Music fans have plenty to look forward to this weekend, with big country names like Luke Bryan in town. Plus, you’ll find block parties, silent discos, and celebrations all over DFW so the jams don’t have to stop at the concert venue.
The heat gets too much to handle? We’ve got you covered on that front as well. Grab a Stanley cup sundae at a local ice cream shop to fuel you as you walk through a farmers market or pop-up.
With so many fitting ways to welcome the summer season it can be hard to choose, but here’s a list of some of the top events happening this weekend in North Texas to help you narrow it down.
Friday, June 20
Its not much of a debate that country concerts and summer were made for each other. They just click. This Friday you could be “Knockin’ Boots” as Luke Bryan makes his way to Dallas for his Country Song Came on Tour. Throw on your cowboy hat, grab your friends, and buy a beer and you seriously won’t want this night to end. The concert starts at 7 p.m. at Dos Equis Pavilion, so hop on and buy tickets before they sell out.
