Circus Acts and Courtside Seats in Dallas
The triple-digit heat defines the weekend, making this a good time to focus on the city's rich indoor event calendar. From comedy at the historic Majestic Theatre to professional basketball at the American Airlines Center, you can find high-quality entertainment without spending the afternoon in the sun.
Expect sunny skies and extreme heat this weekend with afternoon highs reaching 102 degrees. The best time to be outside is early morning on Saturday, before the heat builds.
If you only do one thing
Ari Matti performs a live comedy set at the Majestic Theatre this weekend. While other comedy options are available in Addison and Arlington, this performance at a historic Dallas venue provides a central anchor for an evening out downtown.
Tip: Arrive at the Majestic Theatre before the 7:00 PM listed start time to settle in before the show begins.
