Indoor Arena Hoops and Historic Theater Comedy
The Colony is trading the 101 degree heat for the air-conditioned comfort of arenas and theaters this weekend. Use the early morning window on Sunday if you need to head outdoors before the peak sun arrives.
Expect sunny skies and extreme heat with highs reaching 101 degrees and lows near 80. The best time to be outside is early morning on Sunday before the heat builds.
If you only do one thing
Ari Matti performs a live comedy set at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas this weekend. This stand-alone performance is the top pick because it offers a live experience in a historic venue that televised alternatives cannot match.
Tip: Arrive at the theater before the listed 7:00 PM start time to find your way to your seat.
