DALLAS — Wow... Easter weekend already!? Man, the year's flying by!
As always, the list of things to do is endless around North Texas. There are so many Easter egg hunts going on, it might be easier to get a dozen eggs at a park than at a grocery story (especially with the way these egg prices are set up now 🙄).
Here's what we found:
Friday, April 7
Make some time to "escape to the islands," 'cause the Dallas Reggae Festival is back in town!
Head to Addison Circle Park anytime this weekend, starting at 5 p.m. Friday. Each day will be full of live performers, Caribbean food, dancing, family-friendly events and vendors selling art and jewelry.
One promoter for the Reggae Festival says, "“Reggae music brings us together, unites communities, and serves as a rallying cry when everything else seems to fall on deaf ears. The goal is to unite the audience with performers from many different generations."
Ticket prices vary for each day. You could all get one ticket for $75 that'll pay for the whole weekend.
