Suppose you're in the American Dream City and looking for stuff to do this weekend. In that case, you're in luck because Arlington's calendar is packed with a variety of events that aim to please virtually every palate, whether you're into sports, music, science, or cultural festivities. Let's dig into some of the highlights.
The Arlington Renegades are hoping to keep their perfect home record intact, facing off against the DC Defenders at 11 a.m. this Sunday at Choctaw Stadium—and if you're one of the first 1,500 fans through the gates, you'll score a Renegades rally towel courtesy of the Texas Army National Guard. At the same time, children 12 and under can receive free admission to the Crayola Experience and Crayola markers.
On the greener side of things, the Veritex Bank Championship tees off at the Texas Rangers Golf Club until April 27, with free admission for the military and first responders, which is a nice touch, parking can be secured through the tournament ticketing site and shuttles will cart you from your car to the action, the City of Arlington reported. Viva la Fiesta at Six Flags Over Texas is bringing all the thrill of a cultural fiesta this weekend, though the details remain a tad obscured in terms of exactly what the live entertainment entails, but hey, it's Six Flags—we can assume there's a promise of fun times.
There's also the "Wicked Threads: The Artistry of Costume in Oz" exhibition at the Arlington Museum of Art, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the wearable art of the Broadway musical and its latest film adaptation. Tickets and hours are available via the museum's exhibition page.
For more live music, the Levitt Pavilion is kickstarting its free Spring Concert Series while the Arlington Music Hall shows promise of enchanting theatre with "Once Upon a Mattress." Texas Live! is transforming into a spring break paradise, complete with tropical cocktails and no holds barred. At the same time, Division Brewing presents a nod to the classics with "Deja Vu in Concert," channeling the vibes of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young this weekend.
