Weekend of May 15 - May 17, 2026

WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

Sunny and warm with highs near 86°F. Potential for scattered evening thunderstorms on Sunday.

The I-30 Canyon Project enters a high-intensity phase this weekend, creating significant north-south travel friction.

⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

Mahler’s 'Symphony of a Thousand'

Friday, May 15 at 7:30 PM

"This is one of the largest orchestral works in existence, requiring over 400 musicians and singers. It is rarely performed due to the sheer cost and scale; seeing it at the Meyerson (acoustically world-class) beats any standard concert tour."

PRO TIP: Avoid the $35 parking garages. Since you're in 75204, hop on the M-Line Trolley on McKinney Ave; it’s free and drops you directly at the Meyerson entrance.
