    Weekend Event Planner

    These are the 9 best things to do in Dallas this weekend

    The final weekend in September is shaping up to be a huge one. Not only do you have the start of the single biggest event on the Dallas calendar, but you have no fewer than four big name concerts, two new local theatrical productions, the start of a new classical music season, and a new art exhibit to enjoy.

    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, September 27

    Dallas Symphony Orchestra presents "Wagner Overtures"
    The classical portion of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra kicks off with a program called "Wagner Overtures," featuring Wagner’s overture to Tannhäuser and his prelude to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. Those selections are paired with two of Richard Strauss’s most transcendent works, Four Last Songs and Death and Transfiguration. The concert, featuring Soprano Aga Mikolaj, will be presented three times through Sunday at the Meyerson Symphony Center.

    Drake in concert with Migos
    The "In My Feelings" challenge will be in full effect at American Airlines Center as Drake comes back to town. It's been a couple of years since the Canadian rapper was in the area, giving him enough time to release yet another No. 1 album, Scorpion, and score a few more No. 1 hits like "In My Feelings," "Nice for What," and "God's Plan." He'll be joined by Migos, who featured Drake on their hit, "Walk It Talk It."

    5 Seconds of Summer in concert
    Since the dissolution of One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer has taken over as the current reigning boy band. This is actually their second stop in the Dallas area in just five months, as they booked a concert at House of Blues Dallas in April before realizing they'd need a much bigger venue for their next concert. They'll play at the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving in support of their new album, Youngblood.

    Friday, September 28

    2018 State Fair of Texas
    The 24-day, four weekend extravaganza that is the State Fair of Texas is finally back. Some people can't wait for the festivities, some people dread them, but the one thing it's impossible to do is ignore them. For almost the next month, you can indulge in all the fried food you can handle, carnival rides, concerts, livestock shows, butter sculptures, and all the other fun and weird stuff on display at Fair Park. Learn how to get discounts for it all here. The State Fair will run through October 21.

    Uptown Players presents Angels in America, Part Two: Perestroika
    As one of the great plays of the 20th century, Angels in America, Perestroika picks up right where Millenium Approaches leaves off, with the epic conclusion of the fate of two couples in which one partner has abandoned the other and God has abandoned Heaven. The award-winning play, presented by Uptown Players at Kalita Humphreys Theater through October 7, explores gay culture, race, political injustice, inequality, and the future of America through the lens of the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.

    Dallas Theater Center presents Steel Magnolias
    Every Southern woman knows there are few institutions on earth more important than the town beauty parlor. At Truvy Jones’ salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, neighborhood women gather to swap stories, share gossip, and of course, style their hair. But when tragedy strikes, the community comes together in a bond more powerful than 10 coats of hairspray. Dallas Theater Center will present Steel Magnolias at Wyly Theatre through October 21.

    Saturday, September 29

    Florence + the Machine in concert with Kamasi Washington
    English indie rock band Florence + the Machine is one of those groups that has had an outsized impact on the music world compared to their record sales and hit songs. They have had one No. 1 album and their most recent album, 2018's High as Hope, debuted at No. 2, but their best known song, "Dog Days Are Over," didn't even crack the top 20. They'll play at the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory.

    Sunday, September 30

    Dallas Museum of Art presents Runo Lagomarsino: "Concentrations 61"
    "Concentrations 61" is the first solo museum exhibition for Runo Lagomarsino, a conceptual artist of Italian and Argentine descent. Transforming everyday objects and phrases into historically referential works of art, Lagomarsino considers the unstable nature of national identities. "Concentrations 61" spans two galleries and features new commissions and previous works that have been specifically reformatted for the DMA. The exhibit will be on display through April 14, 2019.

    Lauryn Hill in concert
    For a singer who has been part of only three albums — two with the Fugees, one solo, all released in the '90s — Lauryn Hill still enjoys a reputation as a great artist. She's released a handful of songs in the past 20 years, but has also become known for her erratic behavior. Fingers crossed we'll get the the good Hill when she performs at the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory as part of the 20th anniversary celebration of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

    The State Fair of Texas kicks off on September 28, running through October 24 at Fair Park.

    The Dallas-based USA Film Festival returns for its 56th edition April 22-26, presenting 22 narrative features, documentaries, and short films.

    All screenings and events will be held at the Angelika Film Center Dallas, with most of the programming offered for free as part of the Festival's community outreach programming.

    Among the notable programs will be a salute to celebrated fashion photographer Arthur Elgort, who will be in attendance for a screening of Warren Elgort's new documentary, Arthur Elgort: Models & Muses.

    In the film, Warren Elgort as he turns the camera on his father, whose candid, movement-driven style transformed the pages of Vogue and redefined the look of modern fashion photography.

    The Centerpiece Selection of the festival will be Renny Harlin’s new disaster thriller, Deep Water, which will be presented as part of a salute to the filmmaker’s career. Both Harlin and executive producer - and music legend - Gene Simmons will be in attendance.

    The film, starring Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley, is about a flight that goes down in the middle of the Pacific, where survivors soon discover they’re not alone and must survive the shark infested waters.

    The Spotlight Screening will be Guy Jacobson’s madcap legal comedy, Out Of Order. Brandon Routh stars as a young New York lawyer who ends up working for two opposing law firms, inexplicably representing both sides of the same case.

    Jacobson will be in attendance to present the film - which also stars Brooke Shields, Sam Huntington, Sandra Bernhard, Luis Guzman, and Krysta Rodriguez - and participate in a post-screening Q&A.

    The Closing Night lineup will be led by Matthew Thayer’s No Limbs No Limits, with the film’s inspirational subject, Nick Vujicic, presenting the film.

    Born without arms or legs, Vujicic defied every expectation the world placed on him - surviving childhood depression and a suicide attempt at age eight to eventually reaching millions of people with his message of faith and perseverance.

    Other notable programs will include a salute to Oscar nominee Lesley Ann Warren, a special 75th Anniversary screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train (1951); and Jay Duplass’ See You When I See You, starring Cooper Raiff, David Duchovny, Kaitlyn Dever, and Hope Davis.

    “We are pleased to once again celebrate Dallas Arts Month with our annual Spring Festival,” USAFF Managing Director Ann Alexander said in a statement. “This year's program celebrates some very independent and inspirational artists, and includes programs ranging from important documentary topics and classic films, to pure entertainment fare."

    Advance tickets are now available online at eventbrite.com/cc/56th-annual-usa-film-festival-4827625.

    Any unsold/unreserved tickets will be made available at the Angelika Film Center upstairs Sales Desk beginning one hour prior to each showtime.
