Historic Stages and Clear Night Skies Lead the Weekend
The thermometer is pushing triple digits this weekend, making the city's indoor theaters and arenas the best places to be. It is a good weekend for entertainment, whether you are catching Ari Matti at the Majestic or watching the Perseids Meteor Shower from a dark spot outside the city. With a new moon providing excellent stargazing conditions, the best views will be away from the streetlights.
Expect consistent sun with high temperatures reaching 102 degrees and lows near 80. The best time for any outdoor activity is Saturday early morning before the heat builds, as clear skies will push the index to 101 by afternoon.
If you only do one thing
Comedy performer Ari Matti takes the stage at the Majestic Theatre - Dallas for a high-energy live set. While big-league sports are on the calendar, this live performance is the premier choice for an unrepeatable cultural outing at a historic downtown venue. It leads the weekend schedule for its broad appeal and high-signal energy.
Tip: The performance is listed for 7:00 PM, so arrive at the Elm Street venue early to allow time for security and finding your seat.
