Weekend of Jul 3 - Jul 5, 2026

WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

Oppressive July heat with highs near 101°F. Evenings remain humid and in the 80s.

DART is operating on a Sunday schedule for the July 4th holiday.

⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

Star Spangled Spectacular at the Meyerson

Saturday at 1:00 PM or 6:30 PM

"It solves the Dallas July heat paradox by offering a top-tier patriotic celebration in a world-class, climate-controlled acoustic environment rather than an asphalt parking lot."

PRO TIP: Pre-pay for Hall Arts Center Parking online to avoid the holiday surge pricing and the walk from the surface lots.
