Best Things To Do in Dallas this Weekend — From Aurora’s Immersive Exhibit to Jenna Bush Hager and Woofstock

That's Right. Woofstock.

AURORA's Area 3 begins this Thursday, October 1 and features local artists including Alicia Eggert.

From immersive art experiences to drive-through Halloween and dog parties, these are the best things to do in Dallas this weekend.

Area 3

This Thursday, October 1, AURORA’s Area 3 exhibit opens inside the Dal Park Parking Garage (1600 Commerce Street) and will run through January 1, 2021. The immersive drive-through art experience features local artist Tramaine Townsend, Alicia Eggert, Julie Libersat, and more. Timed tickets are available for $30 per car.

Drive-Boo Halloween

Head to the American Airlines Center this Friday and Saturday for a special no-contact Drive-Boo Halloween. The family-friendly event is located in the AAC Silver parking garage, where the entire experience can be enjoyed from your own car. Filled with spooky characters and haunted-house vibes, there’s even a VIP upgrade option to give you access to the top-floor experience, which is a bit scarier and less kid-friendly. Tickets are available here.
