    Weekend Event Planner

    These are the 5 best things to do in Dallas this weekend

    The beginning of a new year usually means a slight hangover in the events department. This somewhat slower weekend will feature the final days of various holiday events, a country singer whose success has been two decades in the making, a singer who wowed on a recent reality competition show, and a discussion of the biggest movie of 2017.

    Below are the best ways to spend your free time this weekend. Want more options? Lucky for you, we have a much longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, January 4

    Last call for holiday events
    The holiday season may officially be over, but you still have a few more days to check out some of its fun events. Holiday at the Arboretum at Dallas Arboretum, The Trains at NorthPark, Magical Winter Lights at Lone Star Park, and Holiday Wonder at Fair Park will all be open through Sunday, offering a last chance to see great lights and other displays.

    Friday, January 5

    Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit in concert with James McMurty
    Country singer Jason Isbell is an old-school musician in that he's taken the long road to success. He's been paying his dues for the past 17 years, slowly but surely building a fan base. Each of his albums has landed farther up the Billboard Country charts, culminating with has latest, 2017's The Nashville Sound, at No. 4. He and his band, The 400 Unit, will play at the Bomb Factory alongside opening act James McMurtry.

    Saturday, January 6

    Cry Havoc Theater Company presents A History of Everything
    If you were to write your own history of everything, what would you include? The election of Barack Obama or the 2016 rise of the alt-right? The discovery of penicillin or the detonation of the first atomic bomb? In A History of Everything, playing at Margo Jones Theatre at Magnolia Lounge through January 13, the teens of Cry Havoc tell the story of humanity as they see it, highlighting the cyclical nature of the world and the ongoing human struggle to find meaning in life.

    Eisemann Center presents An Evening with Mandy Harvey
    Mandy Harvey is an award-winning singer, songwriter and motivational speaker who appeared on the 2017 edition of America's Got Talent, finishing in the top five. Despite losing her hearing at age 18, she has forged ahead with her musical career, relying on perfect timing and pitch. She'll perform a one-night-only show at Eisemann Center for the Performing Arts in Richardson.

    Sunday, January 7

    Nerd Fight Strikes Back - A Star Wars Panel Discussion
    Star Wars: The Last Jedi was the biggest movie of 2017, having made over $550 million in just three weeks. But it's also been criticized heavily by a segment of hardcore fans who suggested that writer/director Rian Johnson has betrayed some of the series' biggest beliefs. This panel discussion at Texas Theatre will feature a variety of Star Wars experts breaking down the film and its place in the Star Wars canon. The Last Jedi will screen both before and after the discussion for anyone who wants to see it again or for the first time.

    Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit will play at the Bomb Factory on January 5.

    The new Prime Materia at Meow Wolf Grapevine offers special drinks and a deeper level of storytelling

    Immersive art museum Meow Wolf Grapevine is adding some high-tech sips via Prime Materia, a new in-house bar with drinks, snacks, and interactive art.

    Set to open on Friday, June 20, Prime Materia will be equal parts cocktail bar, snack station, and interactive installation, bringing together those in search of a drink with those in search of an art experience, to uncover secrets through custom drink recipes, environmental details, and conversations with mixologists.

    This new space will operate within the facility's current installation The Real Unreal, blending one-of-a-kind drinks and immersive art. Designed for all ages, it offers a new way to explore and interact at Meow Wolf Grapevine, says general manager Jamie Weaver-Garia.

    "Introducing our first in-exhibition bar allows us to expand how guests engage with The Real Unreal while offering something truly unique to the Dallas-Fort Worth area," Weaver-Garia says.

    The new area will be in the tucked-away zone of Lamp Shop Alley within the Meow Wolf Grapevine exhibition. Cocktails and non-alcoholic elixirs will feature names like the Overclocked Margarita, Elderberry Gin Potion, and Cold Brew Tincture.

    Light bites will include pretzel bits and popcorn in the varieties of Popped Pixels and colorful Kernel Panic, provided by local vendors, with special souvenir gifts for guests who want their drinks with extra flair.

    The space will allow visitors to enjoy a deeper layer of storytelling with lore-infused elixirs, snackable curiosities, and a cast of high-tech bartenders known as the Gizmo_Mancers — alchemical technologists who have mastered the art of brewing drinks from digital code.

    While Prime Materia features a menu of cocktails for those 21 and up, the bar is also stocked with non-alcoholic mocktails, snacks, and interactive art elements for guests of all ages.

    Access to Prime Materia is only available with admission to The Real Unreal. Tickets for Meow Wolf Grapevine are available at meowwolf.com/tickets.
