From holiday lights and immersive experiences to neighborhood art walks and cocktail tastings, these are the best things to do in Dallas this weekend.

Get in the Holiday Spirit

The City of Dallas’ Deck the Plaza event will return as a drive-thru celebration of lights from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm this Saturday at City Hall Plaza. Beginning at Marilla Street, drivers will go through the plaza including lights and a 35-foot tree while tuned to radio station 101.1.

Interactive SnowDay opens this Friday at the Galleria. Open to all ages, the walk-through experience includes 11 holiday-themed rooms and photo opportunities. Book your reservation here. Social distancing and masks are required inside the Galleria.

In Plano, the Lights at Legacy Drive Through Experience will take place on Sunday from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. The free event features appearances by Santa and Mrs. Claus, a live reindeer, the Sugar Plum Fairy, toy soldiers, and more. You’ll also be able to see snow along the route, as well as the grand finale of a Christmas tree.
