Arlington is packing the weekend with events from bunny photos to code learning to rodeo thrills, and it's not holding back on opportunities for learning and fun. At The Parks Mall at Arlington, families can "Hop in for Photos!" with the Easter Bunny, perfect for those family Easter memories, according to the City of Arlington, Texas. And if you’re feeling particularly spirited, Six Flags Over Texas invites you to scream your lungs out riding the roller coasters during its Scream Break event, running from March 9 to March 16.
For the brainy types out there, Arlington’s libraries are offering a cornucopia of activities. The little ones can engage in play-based learning at the Downtown Library, while tweens and teens get to "spend an hour learning the basics of computer science and coding," with no previous experience necessary. There’s also a Scavenger Hunt at Ron Wright Lake Arlington Library for those interested in diving into women’s history.
Saturday is just as packed, with a variety of events suiting all tastes. The Arlington Public Library is hosting several programs including a Family Storytime and an event featuring New York Times bestselling author Max Brallier. At Globe Life Field, the American Rodeo is set to entertain with its blend of world-class talent and Western sports action.

Music lovers? Buckle up. Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks are performing on the same stage for the first time in Texas at the AT&T Stadium—"a spectacular one-night-only show" that's bound to set the stage on fire. If that’s not thrilling enough, roll to the Friday Night Skate event at Elzie Odom Athletic Center to enjoy some skating and pizza, but remember, "pre-registration is required."
Sunday isn't left behind as the Jackals' home opener against the Miami Sharks at Choctaw Stadium is sure to draw a local crowd.
