Y'all, there is so much to do this weekend, it was hard to narrow this list down.
Luckily, many people will have a three-day weekend to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., so here are several ways to spend that time across Dallas-Fort Worth.
Thursday
1. Oh Hello, Dolly! The Tony-winning musical classic will be in Fort Worth all weekend long with multiple performances at Bass Hall to give you a chance to see the comedy come to life.
Showtimes vary, but there are both matinee and evening performances available, with tickets starting at $55. Shows run through Sunday.
2. Catch the Blue Man Group at the Winspear Opera House in Downtown Dallas. The show will delight, amaze and entertain you, that's for sure (I saw it myself on Wednesday). But the men will leave you with questions after the performance -- like "How do they get their faces to be that blue?"
