Make it a great weekend in D-FW!
Tune into NBCDFW on Thursdays or Saturdays and you'll find regular Dallas Morning News segments where we pick the most exciting weekend events. There is a lot to do in D-FW; and here's where you can find all our recommended events this weekend.
Here are favorites for the week:
If you hear about one thing this weekend, it better be this: The State Fair opens Friday and runs through Oct. 18. Find everything you need to know about the State Fair here.
Can't take all that fried food? A much fancier food event, Park & Palate, is Friday and Saturday in Klyde Warren Park. It's the park's first big fundraiser, which means tickets are also pricey.
Don't have a few hundred bucks to spend, but still like eating and drinking? It's Oktoberfest. Step One: Learn how to Oktoberfest. Step Two: Pick your place this weekend -- McKinney, Fort Worth or Rockwall/Garland. If you're already planning for next weekend, see all the upcoming Oktoberfests here.
If you're looking for some indoor entertainment: Retropalooza is a vintage video game and arcade game festival. It's in Arlington Saturday and Sunday.
