This is a replacement for the Weekly Things to Do List, formerly shared with r/Dallas on Reddit. This is a living document, so additional entries will be added as I find them.
Art openings are included in THIS list, but you can also see ongoing shows on the Art Exhibits page. For plays and such, see the list of a full year’s Theatre Productions.
Other Ongoing Things to Do also have their own separate page.
I’m working on lists of things to do every week. These will include things like trivia nights, open mics, etc. The Tuesday list is pretty complete, but other days of the week will soon follow!
