Indoor Laughs and Dark Sky Stargazing
While triple-digit temperatures will dominate the afternoon, the dark skies of a new moon offer a perfect late-night escape. Ari Matti at the Majestic Theatre leads a strong lineup of comedy and family entertainment.
Expect intense heat all weekend with sunny skies and highs reaching between 102 and 103 degrees. The best window to be outside is Sunday early morning, before the extreme heat builds.
If you only do one thing
Ari Matti performs a live comedy set at the historic Majestic Theatre in Dallas. This is the top choice because it offers an indoor evening experience that cannot be repeated at home, unlike the major sports broadcasts happening simultaneously.
Tip: Arrive at the Elm Street venue before the listed 7:00 PM start time to navigate downtown parking.
