    Weekend Event Planner

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

    Alex Bentley
    Jun 29, 2023 | 6:00 am

    Music and comedy will be the highlights of the event taking place this weekend in and around Dallas. There will be five big concerts, including one by a country music legend; three comedians, including one of the best of all time; two new local theater productions, including one by Deaf actors; and a different kind of basketball.

    Below are the best ways to spend your precious free time this weekend. Want more options? Lucky for you, we have a much longer list of the city's best events. Also, Fourth of July events start in earnest this weekend; check out the full list here.

    Thursday, June 29

    Turtle Creek Chorale presents What Happens in Vegas
    Turtle Creek Chorale presents What Happens in Vegas, a colorful collection of arrangements of familiar music associated with "Sin City," including hits from Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, and Elton John, accompanied by costumes, dancing, and an Elvis impersonator. There will be performances on Thursday and Friday at Moody Performance Hall.

    American Airlines Center presents Dave Chappelle Live
    Dave Chappelle is recognized as one of the greatest comedians of all time. He is the 2019 recipient of the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, and his work has earned him more than 30 nominations and awards in television and film for projects that include his groundbreaking sketch comedy television series Chappelle’s Show, comedy specials, and guest appearances on Saturday Night Live. He'll perform at American Airlines Center.

    Matchbox Twenty in concert
    It may or may not surprise you that rock band Matchbox Twenty has only released five albums in their career, or that - despite the bulk of their hits coming from their first three albums - their only No. 1 album was 2012's North. Since then, the band has focused almost exclusively on touring until this year, when they released their first new album in more than a decade, Where The Light Goes. They'll play at Dos Equis Pavilion.

    Friday, June 30

    Outlaw Music Festival with Willie Nelson and Friends
    The Outlaw Music Festival Tour continues the celebration of Willie Nelson’s legendary life and legacy in his milestone 90th birthday year. Performing at Dos Equis Pavilion will be Willie Nelson & Family, Whiskey Myers, Flatland Cavalry, and Particle Kid. Nelson is touring in support of his 99th album, I Don’t Know A Thing About Love.

    TLC and Shaggy in concert
    In the early-to-mid 1990s, R&B/hip hop trio TLC was at the top of their game thanks to hits like "Waterfalls" and "No Scrubs." Things went sideways in the late '90s, and then derailed almost completely when Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes died in a car crash in 2002. But T-Boz and Chilli have persevered, and they'll be at the top of the '90s/2000s-heavy "Hot Summer Nights" Tour, featuring co-headliner Shaggy, as well as special guests En Vogue and Sean Kingston. The concert is at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving.

    Improv Addison presents Ian Bagg
    Ian Bagg started his comedy career in his native country, Canada. He proceeded to do all the show business things that every successful Canadian entertainer does. So what does a Canadian do when he has done it all? He boards a train to New York City, lives in a youth hostel and ends up on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He'll perform four times through Saturday at Improv Addison.

    North Texas Performing Arts Deaf Theatre presents Deaf Theatre Showcase: A Union of Hands and Voices
    North Texas Performing Arts will present the inaugural production of its NTPA Deaf Theatre, a new and innovative troupe focused on making theatre accessible to Deaf and hard of hearing performers and audiences in Dallas-Fort Worth. The production combines a cast of 33 Deaf and hearing actors ages 8-adult on stage in a revue inspired by popular Broadway hits. The showcase highlights the diverse culture of the Deaf, styles of Deaf theater, and passion for this inclusive art form. Actors will share their life experiences following scenes using a variety of Deaf theater styles. There will be three performances through Sunday at the Willow Bend Center of the Arts in Plano.

    Pocket Sandwich Theatre presents Captain Blood: A Pirate Melodrama
    Welcome to the adventures of the most bumbling bunch of buccaneers that ever buckled a swash. Pocket Sandwich Theatre is going back further than ever before to capture a tale of bloodthirsty cutthroats versus proper scoundrels of her Majesty's navy. There's fighting, singing, laughs, love, betrayal, and tender moments that would melt even the darkest blaggard's heart. The production, which encourages audience members to throw popcorn, runs through August 12.

    Hyena's presents Adam Ray
    Adam Ray is known onstage for his stories about bumping into celebrities, life in Los Angeles, talking about his mom, and his single friends. Lately, he’s also been making waves as an actor: playing the role of Vince McMahon in Young Rock, Jay Leno in Pam & Tommy, and starring in The Bellmen. Meanwhile, Adam’s YouTube videos have over 50 million views and his popular podcast About Last Night features tons of celebrities. He'll perform four times through Saturday at Hyena's Comedy Nightclub.

    Saturday, July 1

    BIG3: 3-on-3 Basketball League
    Dallas will be one of eight cities to host games for the sixth season of the BIG3: 3-on-3 Basketball League. Created in part by rapper/actor Ice Cube, the BIG3 is the American 3-on-3 professional basketball league, which combines superstar players and fan interaction before and after the games to make for an exciting live experience. The games feature half-court play and rules designed for competition and intensity. The games will be at American Airlines Center.

    Illenium in concert
    Electronic music producer/DJ Illenium has been at or near the top of the Billboard Dance charts since his debut in 2016. His three most recent albums, including the new Illenium, have been especially successful, charting at No. 1 on the Dance charts and also high on the Billboard 200, which combines all genres together. He'll play all his hits, including his latest - "Eyes Wide Shut" with Avril Lavigne and Travis Barker - at this concert at Dos Equis Pavilion.

    Pickleball News

    Indoor pickleball concept from Georgia bounces into Frisco

    Pickleball paddles face off.

    There's a new indoor pickleball concept coming to Dallas: Called Ace Pickleball Club, it's a growing chain from Georgia, making its Texas debut in Frisco in an old BuyBuy Baby space at at 2930 Preston Rd. #600. According to a release, it opens July 12.

    Ace Pickleball was founded in Roswell, Georgia in 2023, and calls itself the only facility of its kind, delivering a member-focused approach and all-inclusive pricing.

    Professional-grade cushioned courts and a welcoming community create the optimal playing experience for all skill levels. The chain currently has 15 locations across the U.S. including Colorado, Oklahoma, and Illinois.

    They emphasize an inclusive community with unlimited open play, and offer clinics, tournaments, social events, and ball machine reservations. They also offer paddle demos so that members can test out the newest technology from a variety of brands to find their favorite.

    When they open, they'll offer free introductory pickleball clinics for beginners to go over the rules of the sport and feel more comfortable as they learn about the game.

    Indoor facilities have an advantage in that they're impervious to weather so players can play year-round.

    The Frisco location is a nearly 33,000-square-foot facility with 11 full-size courts and one dinking court designed to welcome players of all skill levels. Memberships are $129 monthly with the first month free.

    Bringing the concept to Frisco is Juan Menchaca, a former corporate worker who is a pickleball player himself. When he and his wife relocated to the DFW area in May 2023, he brought with him a lifelong dream of opening a sports facility.

    Introduced to pickleball by his brother-in-law, who is now training to go pro in pickleball, Menchaca was instantly hooked by the game’s fast pace, simple rules, and strong sense of community.

    Opening a dedicated pickleball facility felt like the ideal first serve into the world of sports.

    “I saw the demand I knew Ace Pickleball Club was the right fit,” Menchaca says. “The model is perfect for all skill levels across the Frisco community. I’ve always wanted to create something people could rally around, and this not only provides that, but helps in bringing our community closer.”
