Things to do in Dallas-Fort Worth this weekend: St. Patrick's, Pinball Festival, Suhoor Fest and more

North Texans will be full of green, but be on lookout for rain this weekend!

DALLAS — It's time to kiss this week goodbye like it's Irish!

North Texas will be decked out in green for St. Patrick's Day weekend, 

If you're not trying to get pinched for not wearing green, we found a bunch of non-Patty events, too!

As always, be sure to keep an eye on the forecast. All of this green might have to try and overpower some grey skies and rain.

Here's a look at what's happening in DFW this weekend.

Friday, March 15

Texas Pinball Festival (Frisco, all weekend)

Want to feel like a kid all weekend? How about a 40,000+ square foot game room FULL of pinball machines.

Heads over to the annual Texas Pinball Festival at at the Embassy Suites' Frisco Hotel and Conference Center. Festival organizers are hoping to fill the room with over 400 pinball machines, video games and other game room goodies.

You already have to pay to get in, so you can leave your quarters at home. These games will be set up on free play for everyone to enjoy.

If you buy a weekend pass at the door, that'll be $90 (or $75 if you register in advance). If you're just paying for a select day or two, prices vary by day and the age of the festivalgoer. 

Festival hours also vary, so keep your eyes on the times too!

PS: Gamers under 5 years old get in for free.

Available for purchase at the TPF show gift shop!

DFW Suhoor Fest (Irving)

Muslims in North Texas can celebrate their faith with an overnight feast in Irving on Saturday night.

The DFW Suhoor Fest will run from 11 p.m. through 5 a.m. at 8505 Walton Boulevard.

In addition to the food trucks and vendors that'll be available, the festival will consist of barbers, henna artists, clothes, art and more.

Everyone's invited.

Here's a look at the festival's turnout last year:

Sunday, March 17

St. Patrick's Day

While we'll probably celebrate this all weekend, Sunday's the actual day to celebrate Irish culture and St. Patrick himself (even though he apparently didn't live in Ireland until he was 16. Go figure.). 

We found a few events happening on Sunday, but if those don't work for you, check the "Other events" for Friday and/or Saturday. We have St. Pat-related events in bold.
