Kesha is performing at South Side Ballroom this weekend in Dallas.
Make CBD-infused mocktails, enjoy an Uptown wine social, and catch Kesha or Chris Stapleton — these are the best things to do in Dallas this weekend.

CBD & Adaptogenic Mocktail Class at Go Easy
Our favorite women’s wellness shop has the perfect class for the sober curious (or those who just appreciate a good mocktail). Hosted at Go Easy’s Bishop Arts District space this Thursday, local mixologist Drew Blackburn will teach participants how to whip up four craft cocktails (one for morning, two summery specialties, and a wind-down drink) infused with CBD. Expect conversations about wellness and zero hangovers. Tickets are $75 and can be purchased here.

Kesha
Kesha Rose Sebert is back on the road after the cancellation of her 2020 tour. The “TiK ToK” singer will be stopping at South Side Ballroom in Dallas on Friday night with guest Betty Who.
