🎉 Monday Fun Finder — 36 Events

20 in Dallas · 6 in Plano · 5 in Arlington · 5 in Fort Worth

I’ve done the digging so you don’t have to. Today, I pulled together 36 events across Dallas, Plano, Arlington, and Fort Worth—from concerts in Deep Ellum and trivia nights in Oak Lawn, to Oktoberfest dinners in Plano and even a good old-fashioned cattle drive in Fort Worth.

👉 I’ll be keeping these guides updated every single day, so no matter where you are in DFW, you’ll always have fresh picks waiting.

 
 

Advertise with us—only if it helps locals 💙

I highlight local businesses that add real value—new menus, pop-ups, family activities, wellness services, hiring notices, neighborhood specials, cultural events, and more. No hard sells. If it’s genuinely helpful for Dallas, I want to hear about it.
