Things to do in Dallas-Fort Worth this weekend

DALLAS — We’re getting to that half way point in July, and that North Texas summer heat is not letting up! 

This weekend’s forecast? Hot of course, but that isn’t going to stop you from filling the weekend with all of the top events taking place in DFW. 

For our North Texans that handle the heat like a pro, you have plenty of opportunities to take advantage of the weekend outdoors. You could sweat it out on the dancefloor, run a race in the sun, or take a mid-day stroll to a nearby farmers market. 

For those looking to beat the heat, this week’s events have you covered too! People can cool off at a cold-beer competition or margarita walk, wait till the sun goes down for some boozy pickleball with the girls, or even stay A.C. with plenty of indoor concerts lined up. 

 Clearly, there’s plenty to do in this weekend, so don’t shy! Here’s a list of some of the top events this weekend in DFW.  

Paddles and Palomas (Dallas)

Game. Set. Sip. All pickleball players, seasoned pros and new players alike, are invited to this Friday’s Paddles and Palomas at The Grove Pickleball in Dallas. It’s the perfect summer social that serves up cocktails, music, and an amazing community of women. The event is hosted by the Ladies Athletic Club of Dallas and will take place as the sun sets, so you avoid that North Texas heat. If you believe your backhand should be as strong as your beverage, then you’ve found your people. Purchase tickets on their website and grab your paddle to start the weekend off strong. 

B v B Dallas Beer Olympics (Dallas)

Every four years, the world presses pause and tunes in to the ultimate arena. Where legends are made and history is written. It’s not just a sporting event… it’s the stage where greatness goes to compete. But BvB Dallas is ending the wait… kind of. This weekend they are presenting the Dallas Beer Olympics at The Barley House. Here, teams of six will compete for a chance to own bragging rights for the rest of the summer. So, grab your beer drinking buddies and get competitive. All the proceeds will go to BvB’s charity organization working to tackle Alzheimer’s Disease. Register through instructions on this website. 

Painting with a View (Dallas)

Sometimes the best end to an action packed weekend is to prepare for the upcoming week mentally with some relaxation. What could be more calming than painting with your friends while facing the beautiful Dallas skyline? This Sunday, Painting With a View will be held at Saint Rocco’s rooftop during sunset. The event promises a breathtaking skyline, a step-by-step painting lesson, delicious food and drinks for purchase, and a relaxing atmosphere.
