    Weekend Event Planner

    These are the 11 best things to do in Dallas this weekend

    Alex Bentley
    Sep 8, 2016 | 6:00 am

    Now that Labor Day is behind us, we can get back to the business of having a full events calendar. Among the options this weekend are an ambitious project in Deep Ellum, comedy from two luminaries in the field, a remembrance of 9/11, and much more.

    Below are the best options for your precious free time Thursday through Sunday. Don't like what you see? Lucky for you, we have a much longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, September 8

    Deep Ellum Foundation presents Reimagine Crowdus
    Over the next month, the Deep Ellum Foundation is transforming Crowdus Street into a three-block-long pedestrian walkway, with regular local music performances, live art demonstrations, group activities, and more. The experimental event gives businesses in the area a chance to highlight their products and services and brings the community together with creative free activities. Events happen every day through October 4.

    Improv Addison presents Rickey Smiley
    It will be a homecoming of sorts when comedian Rickey Smiley performs at Improv Addison this weekend. Smiley got his start on the radio in Dallas back in 2004, making his patented prank calls, and The Rickey Smiley Show, now based out of Atlanta, has gone on to be syndicated nationwide. Smiley performs seven times through Sunday.

    Fashion X Dallas 2016
    Fashion X Dallas (Fashion “by” Dallas) returns for its third year and adds a new component, Style Setters. Four influencers in the local community — Linda Gray, LeeAnne Locken, Steve Kemble, and Heidi Dillon — have been selected not only for their iconic style but also for their tireless work and dedication to nonprofit organizations. The event takes place through Saturday at Fashion Industry Gallery.

    Friday, September 9

    Dallas Symphony Pops Series: An Evening with Megan Hilty
    The 2016-2017 Dallas Symphony Orchestra season kicks off with this Pops concert featuring Broadway and television star Megan Hilty. The star of shows like Wicked, 9 to 5: The Musical, and Noises Off performs "Popular," "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," and songs from her album, It Happens All the Time, in three concerts through Sunday at Meyerson Symphony Center.

    Lyric Stage presents Camelot
    Lyric Stage opens its 24th season with the Broadway classic Camelot. The enchanting fable of chivalry, majesty, and brotherhood is a four-time Tony Award-winning musical that features songs like “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “The Simple Joys of Maidenhood,” and the title song. Dallas native Kristen Beth Williams, recently seen in the national tour of A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, plays Guinevere. The show runs through September 18 at Irving Arts Center.

    Saturday, September 10

    Deron Williams Celebrity Dodge Barrage 2016
    The start of the Dallas Mavericks' season — well, preseason — is just three short weeks away. To help get ready, point guard Deron Williams is hosting his Mavericks teammates, other NBA players, and celebrity and amateur teams in the round-robin-style dodgeball tournament. The action takes place at Frisco Fieldhouse and includes MavsMan and Champ, the Mavs ManiAACs, and the Dallas Mavericks Dancers.

    Nasher Sculpture Center presents Kathryn Andrews: Run for President Opening Day
    With this being a presidential election year, there's no better time for Nasher Sculpture Center to host the exhibit Kathryn Andrews: Run for President. In the exhibit, which is on display through January 8, 2017, Andrews uses images and props to create a loose narrative around candidates, campaigns, and the end of a presidency. Andrews is talking about the exhibit as part of the 360 Speaker Series on Saturday.

    CitySquare presents A Night to Remember with Jerry Seinfeld
    The annual A Night to Remember, which benefits CitySquare’s poverty-fighting programs, has been musically inclined the past few years, bringing in performers like Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, and Hall & Oates. Not only does this year's event feature superstar comedian Jerry Seinfeld, but in true stand-up comic tradition, he's performing twice at Winspear Opera House.

    Kraftwerk in concert
    German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk have been making music for nearly 50 years, but they're notoriously reclusive. This multimedia 3-D concert at the Bomb Factory is a rare opportunity to see the band live, as they bring together music and performance art for a true "Gesamtkunstwerk — a total work of art."

    Sunday, September 11

    Travis Manion Foundation presents 9/11 Heroes Run
    The DFW community is gathering for the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The event honors and remembers the heroes of 9/11, the wars since, and all those who bravely serve our communities every day as police, fire, and first responders. The 9/11 Heroes Run 5K and 1-mile fun run is to be followed by a Breakfast with the Brave, where runners and the community can meet, thank, and form relationships with local police, fire, military, and veterans while enjoying local breakfast food trucks and a performance by the Cody Wayne Band.

    Nasher Sculpture Center presents Ultra-Seeing
    Starting Sunday, the Nasher is going to be presenting monthly screenings of experimental cinema. The program is steered by Frank Dufour, a professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, and Emmanuel Lefrant, director of Light Cone, a French organization dedicated to the diffusion and conservation of experimental cinema. The first screening focuses on avant-garde films from the 1920s and '30s; the series takes place through May 2017.

    Kraftwerk performs at the Bomb Factory on September 10.

    A popular padel club from Austin is serving up its first location in Dallas-Fort Worth: Padel39 has purchased and taken over the existing Dallas Padel Club, at 3000 Belmeade Dr.

    According to a release, multimillion-dollar renovations are underway and are expected to be complete by summer 2026. The revamp includes:

    • Seven new outdoor courts are being added to the current three indoor courts (with completion expected by March 2026).
    • Full food and beverage capabilities for a premium sports bar that is open to the public.
    • A fitness area for members that is affiliated with HYROX, recovery areas, wellness facilities (sauna, cold plunge, etc.), upscale locker rooms.
    • Upscale lounging and coworking space.

    For those not up on their racket sports, padel is a cousin of pickleball, tennis, and racquetball. The sport has been wildly popular in Spain and Latin America for decades and is one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S. Like pickleball, it's a doubles game played on a small court, and players hit off glass walls.

    Padel was invented in Acapulco, Mexico, by Enrique Corcuera; Padel39 bears the first two numbers of all Acapulco ZIP Codes.

    The company was founded in 2024 by husband-and-wife William Boyce and Naomi Boyce; William played tennis for the University of Texas at Austin.

    Padel39 currently has two locations in Austin, with a third opening in March. They say they aim to open 12 to 15 Padel39 clubs in Austin, Dallas, and Houston by 2028. After Carrollton, a location will open in central Dallas in late 2026/early 2027, they say.

    “We currently introduce 200+ new players to the sport each month, while maintaining a core group of repeat clients who return for the fitness, competition and vibrant community,” William Boyce says in the release. “Each new location fulfills our vision to put Padel39 and Texas at the epicenter of the padel community.”

    In addition to offering courts to play on, Padel39 features on-court programming, tournaments, social events, and physical wellness opportunities such as courtside Pilates and morning yoga.

    While Padel39 offers memberships, all guests are welcome to play, they say. According to the website, each club is priced differently. At the flagship location in Austin, Padel39 memberships start at $89 per month or $890 per year, but players can also rent courts as needed for 90 minutes at $30.

    “We set out to create a modern take on a country club; a place where members and guests could ‘play and stay,’” Boyce says. “We’ve built that and more. We work to improve the experience for our guests each day.”

    Outdoor construction on the Carrollton club is expected to be completed by March. Indoor food and beverage, fitness and lounging renovations will be finished by summer, they say. The club will remain open during renovations.
