State Fair of Texas

By far the biggest, baddest event in Dallas is the State Fair of Texas. Opening ceremonies kick off with a parade that rolls through downtown, and “Big Tex” (a Texas version of Paul Bunyan), welcoming fairgoers with a bellowing “Hoowwdyyyy!”. Throughout the 24 days of celebration, you’ll see carnivals, pig races, stock shows, concerts and a car show, among other festivities of pure Texan ingenuity.

Deep Ellum Arts Festival

This 3-day festival in the heart of Dallas’ artistic scene is the most eclectic party of the year. Art, music, a pet parade, and a walking parade of sculptures, costumes and general revelry make this event something that every Dallas resident should experience.

Tex-Mex Culture

Breakfast tacos, carnitas, al pastor, margaritas and smothered chili relleno - these pure, distilled Tex-Mex delights are a daily indulgence in Dallas. And when Cinco de Mayo rolls around, the city comes alive with parades, parties, live performances and cultural jubilation.

The Great Outdoors

When Dallas folks need a break from the big city, they head out to White Rock Lake. Here, you’ll find miles of hiking and biking trails, serene kayaking and great fishing spots. Other great escapes include the beautiful Cedar Ridge Preserve and Mountain Creek Lake.
