January 21 at 6pm
Perot Museum of Nature and Science · Victory Park
The Perot Museum goes adults-only after dark, pouring local craft beer among the dinosaurs. Wander all five floors of exhibits with a Community Beer Co. cocktail in hand, plus live music, food trucks, and zero field trips.
January 21 at 8pm
VALENTINAS · Bishop Arts District • $$
Thursday nights at Valentinas turn midweek into a full-blown vibe: DJ Sammy Spins on the decks, roses at the door, and strong drinks fueling a social, Latin-tinged night out.
January 15 at 7:30pm
Meyerson Symphony Center · Dallas Downtown Historic District
Brahms took 21 years to finish his First Symphony, and it shows: thunderous opening, tender lyricism, and a finale that soars. Mozart's Flute and Harp Concerto is pure sunshine, performed by two DSO principals who know every sparkle.
Jan. 16 & Jan. 17 at 1:30am
Bass Performance Hall · Sundance Square
Two powerhouse women take the podium and the spotlight: Dame Jane Glover leads the Fort Worth Symphony while violinist Stella Chen tackles Sibelius' stormy concerto, capped by Shostakovich's sly Ninth.
January 21 at 7:30pm
Majestic Theater · Dallas Downtown Historic District
Bella and Edward's love story gets the full cinematic treatment: the 2008 film on a giant screen while a 12-piece ensemble plays the score live, all bathed in the glow of a thousand candles.
Jan. 16 & Jan. 17 at 1:30am
Cowtown Coliseum · Fort Worth
The world's only year-round rodeo, staged in the historic Cowtown Coliseum where indoor rodeo was born. Bull riding, barrel racing, and roping events keep the action fast, loud, and family-friendly.
January 19 at 1am
American Airlines Center · Victory Park
Catch the Mavericks facing off against the Thunder in a building that knows how to bring the noise. From the Dirk Nowitzki statue out front to the final buzzer, American Airlines Center delivers big-game energy with clean sightlines and a crowd that stays locked in.
January 20 at 1am
American Airlines Center · Victory Park
Feel Dallas sports history before you even step inside: Dirk and Modano greet you at the plaza, then the arena erupts for live NBA action with sightlines that keep you in the play.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
