🎟️ Today in Dallas
If you are still figuring out what to do tonight, we have a few ideas.
The fairgrounds are alive at Fair Park, pumpkins are lighting up Trinity Groves, and the park lawns are turning into open-air hangouts.
Top picks for your Thursday:
State Fair of Texas — fried food, games, and Big Tex watching over everyone
Party in the Park at Klyde Warren — local food trucks, live music, and good company
Dallas Museum of Art Late Thursdays — art, live tunes, and a calm downtown feel
Family Movie Night at The HUB Frisco — Inside Out 2 on the big outdoor screen
Keith Urban at Dickies Arena — a full arena sing-along kind of night
There is a lot happening today, and every corner of Dallas has something worth stepping out for. Grab a friend, take a walk, or chase a little live music. This city rewards curiosity.

🏡 House of the Day
New build a few minutes from Fair Park. Bright living room, tall ceilings, and a clean open kitchen that works for everyday life. Small backyard that fits a grill and a pup. Close to Deep Ellum for nights out, quiet when you get home.
Why we like it: Fresh finishes, easy layout, and still priced like the Dallas we know.
