TGIF!

We have back-to-back activities for you to enjoy this weekend. Whether you want to celebrate Pride Month, Juneteenth, Father’s Day, or all three, there are plenty of events to enjoy. 

Start your weekend off with Levitt Pavilion’s new inaugural Texas Made Songs night, where local singer-songwriters take the stage and celebrate the Lone Star State’s musical history. 

Saturday is all about being proud of your community. Stop by The Fool’s Kava House in the early afternoon for their PrideFest, with vendors and live music. Later in the day, take a walk over to Truth Vinyl for their After The Parade event, with live music, drinks, and a drag show starting at 8 p.m. Finally, stop by Dr. Jeckyll’s Beer Lab in Pantego for live and local LGBTQ+ music artists and vendors. 

Downtown Arlington is also hosting its 5th annual Juneteenth Celebration, with live hip-hop and R&B artists and plenty of vendors taking over Levitt Pavilion. 

On Sunday, share some gratitude for your father figure. Celebrate by taking him out to a special pregame tour before the Texas Rangers face off against the San Diego Padres. After the tour, grab a special themed ticket to snag a Texas Rangers soccer jersey, just in time for your next World Cup watch party.

However you decide to celebrate with your family or community this weekend, send me an email to let me know what you’re up to. See you next Friday!
