    These are the 14 best things to do in Dallas this weekend

    Alex Bentley
    May 28, 2026 | 6:00 am

    The last weekend of May in and around Dallas will feature a lot of fun events across the spectrum. Choices include three local theater productions, five concerts in multiple genres, a showcase of Olympic figure skaters, a legendary comedian, a dance production, a symphony concert, a soccer festival, and a music festival with a little light gambling on the side.

    Below are the best ways to spend your free time this weekend. If you want more options, check out our calendar for an even longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, May 28

    Bishop Arts Theatre Center presents Float
    Float is a one-woman show written and performed by Maryum “May May” Ali, daughter of the legendary Muhammad Ali. Ali takes audiences on an inspiring journey through the defining moments of her life, revealing rare glimpses into her father’s compassion, discipline, and humanity. The production runs through June 7 at Bishop Arts Theatre Center.

    Pegasus Theatre presents Circle of Laughter Festival
    A quartet of productions will comprise Pegasus Theatre's Circle of Laughter Festival. The productions include I Was a Really Great Kisser (running May 28-June 12), Washing Garbage (running May 29-June 13), The Hater (running May 30-June 13), and Neil Simon's Last Hit (running May 30-June 14). All productions will take place at Addison Performing Arts Centre.

    Yungblud in concert
    English rock singer Yungblud has been tearing up the charts in the 2020s, scoring three straight No. 1 albums in his native U.K. He's collaborated with a number of big artists, including Halsey, Machine Gun Kelly, Travis Barker, Marshmello, Bring Me the Horizon, Avril Lavigne, and Aerosmith. He'll play at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving in support of his 2025 album, Idols.

    Friday, May 29

    Stars on Ice
    The Stars on Ice tour will bring America’s elite figure skaters to Allen to showcase the medal-winning skills they demonstrated at the 2028 Winter Olympics in Milan. Headlining the tour will be Ilia Malinin, aka the “Quad God,” 2026 Olympic Women's Singles champion Alysa Liu, 2026 Olympic silver medalist ice dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates; and Amber Glenn, who was part of the 2026 Olympic gold medal-winning team event alongside Malinin, Liu, Chock, and Bates. The event takes place on Friday and Saturday at Credit Union of Texas Event Center.

    Improv Arlington presents George Wallace
    Comedian George Wallace’s most recognized material is his “I Be Thinkin’” lines and jokes about everything from conversational thoughts to political aspirations. In each show, he engages members of the audience in comical banter, and if provoked, he might even throw out a few of his signature “Yo Mama” jokes. He'll perform four times through Sunday at Improv Arlington, joined by opening act Jennifer Holliday.

    Company of Rowlett Performers presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
    An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. The musical will be presented by Company of Rowlett Performers at Plaza Theater in Garland through June 7.

    TITAS/Dance Unbound presents GALLIM
    GALLIM, making their Texas debut, is a fresh, fearless dance company that dives deep into the full range of human experience, where movement feels raw, curious, and deeply connected to big ideas. They'll present SAMA, a powerhouse of a performance that has a tribal energy, with dancers on stilts, others grounded barefoot, all moving through a world where the body becomes something more, something beyond. There will be performances on Friday and Saturday at Moody Performance Hall.

    Dallas Symphony Orchestra presents "Dvořák & Korngold"
    From the pen of the composer who pioneered the art of original film music, making it symphonic in scope and sophisticated in feel, comes Korngold’s Violin Concerto, featuring Maria Dueñas, an in-demand star of the violin world. To conclude the concert, Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony, filled with Bohemian rhythms, is one of his most beloved works. The concert, conducted by Sebastian Weigle, will have performances on Friday and Saturday at Meyerson Symphony Center.

    The Kid Laroi in concert
    Australian rapper/singer The Kid Laroi has used social media, including TikTok, to gain notice of his music for years, breaking out in 2020 with hits like "So Done," "Without You" with Miley Cyrus, and "Stay" with Justin Bieber. After finally putting out his debut album, The First Time, in 2023, he released his second album, Before I Forget, earlier this year. He'll perform at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving.

    Saturday, May 30

    Harold Simmons Park presents Dallas Soccer Kick-Off Fest
    With less than two weeks to go before the 2026 FIFA World Cup starts, soccer fans can get in the mood at the Dallas Soccer Kick-Off Fest. Located in Harold Simmons Park at Ron Kirk Bridge and Felix Lozada Gateway, the festival brings together sports, culture, live music, food, art, and neighborhood pride. It will take place on both Saturday and Sunday.

    Cover-to-Cover Music Festival
    The Cover-to-Cover Music Festival will include performances by three cover bands and casino-style gaming with Choctaw Casino & Resort - Durant game tables. Featured performers include Hard Night's Day, The Meat Sweats, and The Central Standard Band. The event takes place at Klyde Warren Park.

    Stayin’ Alive: One Night of The Bee Gees
    Stayin' Alive offers audiences the songs and sights of a full Bee Gees playlist, singing blockbusters such as “Night Fever,” “Jive Talkin,’” “How Deep Is Your Love,” “You Should Be Dancing,” “Nights on Broadway,” and “Stayin’ Alive.” In addition, they perform softer poetic ballads such as “I Started a Joke,” “Massachusetts,” “Fanny Be Tender,” “Words,” and “To Love Somebody,” among other hits. They'll perform at Majestic Theatre.

    Carín León in concert
    Mexican singer-songwriter Carín León didn't get much traction with his first two albums, but when he switched to a bigger record label in 2023, his career took off. His next two albums both reached the top 10 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart. He'll play at American Airlines Center in support of his recently released album, Muda.

    Sunday, May 31

    Turtle Creek Chorale presents Pride As Big As Texas
    The Turtle Creek Chorale will get an early jump on Pride Month with Pride As Big As Texas. The concert shines a spotlight on the music and creativity of Texas, featuring works by artists like Willie Nelson, Kacey Musgraves, and Beyoncé, alongside compositions by Marques Garrett, Victor Johnson, and others.

She'll perform five times through Saturday at Mic Drop Comedy in Plano.

    A$AP Rocky in concert
    Rapper A$AP Rocky has had a big couple of years both professionally and personally. In 2025, he had supporting roles in two acclaimed movies, If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You and Highest 2 Lowest. He also welcomed his third child with his arguably more famous partner, Rihanna. He followed that up in 2026 with his fourth album, Don't Be Dumb, and now a tour, which will stop at American Airlines Center.

    Echo Theatre presents The Roommate
    Sight unseen, Sharon, a divorced Midwesterner, takes in a roommate, Robyn from The Bronx. Friendship evolves, secrets unfold, and a darkly comedic exploration of life goes off the rails.

    Broadway Dallas presents Clue
    Murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget. Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? Based on the cult 1985 Paramount movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is the ultimate whodunit that will leave audiences dying of laughter and keep them guessing until the final twist. The production runs through June 28 at Winspear Opera House.

    Shakespeare Dallas presents Alice in Wonderland
    Alice in Wonderland follows a curious young girl named Alice who tumbles down a rabbit hole into a whimsical and nonsensical world. In Wonderland, she encounters peculiar characters like the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts. As she navigates bizarre logic, shifting rules, and surreal adventures, Alice struggles to make sense of this topsy-turvy place. The production, running in repertory with Merry Wives of Windsor, runs through July 17 at Samuell-Grand Amphitheater.

    Friday, June 19

    Dallas Arts District Pride Block Party

    Rockwall Summer Musicals presents West Side Story
    Set in the vibrant, tension-filled streets of New York City, young lovers are caught between prejudice and warring street gangs in West Side Story, one of the most important and powerful musicals of all time. The production runs through June 28 at Rockwall High School Performing Arts Center.

    NTPA Repertory Theatre presents West Side Story
    Theater lovers will have another option of the famous musical in Plano. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is transported to modern-day New York City as two young, idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the "American" Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. The production also runs through June 28 at North Texas Performing Arts.

    Repertory Company Theatre presents Grease
    In Grease, audiences can step back into the 1950s for a high-energy blast of teenage romance, rock ‘n’ roll, and unforgettable fun. The beloved musical, featuring iconic hits like “Summer Nights,” “Greased Lightning,” and “You’re the One That I Want,” follows the whirlwind love story of Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski as they navigate the ups and downs of senior year at Rydell High. The production runs through June 28 at Courtyard Theater in Plano.

    Dallas Symphony Orchestra presents "Icons of the Strip: Sinatra & The Rat Pack"
    The Dallas Symphony Orchestra will time travel back to the heyday of the 1950s Las Vegas strip. From Sinatra and the Rat Pack, to Louis Prima and Bobby Darin, crooner Paul Loren will take audience on a musical journey through The Great American Songbook, highlighting some of the most iconic voices of all time along the way. There will be three performances through Sunday at Meyerson Symphony Center.

    Ballet North Texas presents A Midsummer Night's Dream
    Ballet North Texas will step into Shakespeare’s enchanted forest, where lovers, fairies, and mischief collide in this whimsical ballet adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The production will have four performances through Sunday at Moody Performance Hall.

    Saturday, June 20

    Super Pickle: A Musical Parody
    Super Pickle: A Musical Parody is a new comedy that dives paddle-first into the pickleball craze sweeping the nation.

There will be two performances on Saturday at Eisemann Center for Performing Arts in Richardson.

    Uptown Players presents Together
    Together is a Pride season collaboration between Uptown Players and Bruce Wood Dance that celebrates unity, resilience, and love through music and movement. The production explores the journey from isolation to connection through iconic songs like “We Belong,” “Stand By Me,” “Call Me,” “We Are Family,” “All By Myself,” and “We Are the World.” There will be performances on Saturday and Sunday at Kalita Humphreys Theater.

    Teatro Dallas presents Como Agua Para Chocolate
    In 1910, during the Mexican Revolution, Pedro Muzquiz and Tita de la Garza fall in love, but their love is forbidden. When Pedro and his father ask Tita’s mother for her hand in marriage, she refuses, citing family tradition that the youngest daughter must care for her mother in old age. In order to stay near Tita, Pedro reluctantly agrees to marry Tita’s older sister, Rosaura. The production runs through June 28 at Latino Cultural Center.

    Sunday, June 21

    Crow Museum of Asian Art presents "[ _____ ] Mirage" closing day
    Sunday will be the final day to view "[ _____ ] Mirage" at Crow Museum on the campus of the University of Texas Dallas. Pronounced "blank mirage," the exhibition by SV Randall and Sara Dittrich employs textual iconography as both a visual and conceptual device. By leaving the brackets empty, the work invites viewers to add their own interpretation of what is seen/unseen, real/unreal. The interplay between text and void becomes a mirage in itself, an illusion shaped by perception, context, and interpretation.
