Comedy and Circus Acts Lead a Sizzling Fort Worth Weekend
With temperatures reaching 100 degrees across the metroplex, the schedule provides a reliable mix of indoor entertainment. This good weekend for local shows includes high-popularity comedy at the Majestic Theatre and high-energy circus acts in Dallas. While the sun remains intense, a spectacular meteor shower and dark skies offer excellent late-night viewing opportunities.
Expect intense heat with highs reaching 100 to 101 degrees and clear, sunny skies throughout the weekend. The most favorable time to be outside is Sunday early morning, before the extreme afternoon heat builds.
If you only do one thing
