Arlington's weekend plans are sizzling with activities from Six Flags' Spring Break to live music shows and the long-anticipated grand opening of the National Medal of Honor Museum. For every age and interest, as reported by the City of Arlington, Six Flags Over Texas is wrapping up its Spring Break blast with all the coasters and characters you'd want for an adrenaline rush; on the more serene side, the Arlington Museum of Art is featuring two distinct exhibitions, one showcasing "Wicked Threads: The Artistry of Costume in Oz" and another magnifying Princess Diana's life through "Accredited Access" with late photographer Anwar Hussein's lens telling the tale.

Swifties, prepare for a Taylor Swift karaoke night at the Southwest Branch Library! The Downtown Library’s Tinker Room has a 3D printing workshop for kids, so there’s no excuse for boredom this weekend. Whether you're building, singing, or soldering, the Arlington Public Library has something for everyone. At the Arlington Music Hall, catch Firefall, Chapel Hart, and Sisters Easter Catechism for an amazing mix of music and performances. XKO MMA & Muay Thai has a fight night for those craving action.
