From country concerts to local vendor pop-up markets, these are the best things to do in Dallas this weekend.

Dierks Bentley

Country star Dierks Bentley stops at Dallas’ Dos Equis Pavilion this Friday night on his “Beers On Me” tour — named after his 2021 album. He’s known for hits like “What Was I Thinkin'” and “Drunk on a Plane.” Tickets are available here.

Camp NOMAD

On Saturday from 5 pm to 9 pm, head to Bishop Arts for a pop-up market from NOMAD Grills. The inaugural event features music, food, and more. Each “camper” receives free entrance to the event (RSVP required), and access to complimentary drinks and barbecue bites from Tate Farms and Zavala’s Barbecue. Cowboy Pools will be on site to take a dip during the evening, which also includes a free concert from Vincent Neil Emerson. Texas-based Camp Vendors include All Hands Cocktails, Topo Chico, Treat Oak Distilling, and more.

Studio Warming with Artist Marian Mekhail

This Saturday from 1 pm to 7 pm, Dallas artist Marian Mekhail is hosting a Studio Warming — open to the public. Mekhail, whom PaperCity featured earlier this year for her latest exhibition “Maktub,” will briefly discuss her latest projects, as well as answer questions from the community. Guests can also enjoy drinks and small bites while shop Mekhail’s latest pieces and prints. Register here for one of three time slots to attend.
