DALLAS — Congratulations, North Texas. We've made it to another weekend!

(Extra congrats to anyone kicking of their spring break [lucky... enjoy your time off though]).

If you're looking to be out and about this weekend, make sure to keep an eye out for rain chances and a drop in temps.

If you're looking for a reason to be out and about this weekend, we found a few events that you might be interested in.

Whiskey Riot: A Festival of Whiskeys (Dallas)

🎵 200 bottles of whiskey on the wall, 200 bottles of whiskey... Take 'em down, pass 'em around, but promise you'll get home safely afterwards! 🎵

The Tower Building at Dallas' Fair Park will be the place to be Saturday for whiskey fans.

From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., guests will get to taste test over 200 varieties of whiskey. That's included with your $90 general admission ticket, along with one ticket for each cocktail sample bar.

Food will be available at the festival, but organizers strongly suggest that you eat a hearty meal beforehand. They also suggest that you:

  • use the spit buckets
  • rinse out your glass after each taste test
  • don't pre-game before the event
  • take your time at the festival 
  • coordinate a ride home
