Looking to try something fun and new in 2019? Uptown Dallas Inc. has a whole list of events designed to bring Dallasites together, so start making plans now about which ones you'll want to attend.

It all starts with the Let's Talk Uptown series, which brings together a panel of experts to share their ideas with residents and business leaders on trends and major topics of the neighborhood. Upcoming topics include:

  • The Future (February 19), held at Canopy by Hilton. Tickets are $5, click here to register
  • Public safety (May 21)
  • Education (August 20)
  • Designing a District (November 12)

Meeting times are 8:30-10:30 am and tickets are limited, so get them early by following Uptown Dallas Inc. on social media or online. Be sure to also sign up for the e-newsletter.

Networking happy hours are also on the agenda; everyone is welcome and the events are free of charge. Each registered guest gets a free drink along with hearty appetizers. Upcoming happy hours are:

  • February 28, 5:30-7:30 pm at City Council Bar
  • May 30 (location still to be determined)
  • August 29 at Katy Trail Ice House
  • November 21 (location still to be determined)

If art and culture celebrations are more your style, UDI has four crowd-pleasing Pop of Culture Pop-Ups that highlight everything from painting in the park to gallery happy hours and live music in the streets. The first event is March 9 in Griggs Park, where a guided artist will instruct as you create your own piece of art. On June 13 at Bivins Gallery, you'll experience the gallery and meet the brains behind its curation. Keep an eye out for additional dates and events to come.

Movies at Griggs Park returns with family friendly showings of popular films. Be sure to follow Uptown Dallas on Instagram so you can vote for your favorite flick. Movies are free and open to the public, so pack the lawn chairs and picnic baskets (but save some space for the delicious free popcorn). Movie dates are currently set for dusk on June 21 (8 pm) and December 6 (6:30 pm).

The most anticipated event of the year is Uptown Dallas Inc.'s fourth annual Block Party in Griggs Park. On October 10, a popular live band will take the stage for a night of music and fun. UDI has partnered with Community Beer Company so that each guest 21-and-up will get two free beers. Mark your calendars and get ready to party this fall.

For a full list of events in the Uptown district, go to uptowndallas.net/events.
