Dallas is serving up its own brand of excitement this week, according to Visit Dallas’s August event guide. Celebrate the last days of summer with rooftop cocktails at Sky Blossom, where craft drinks come paired with panoramic skyline views. Dip into the Mermaid Raw Bar and Champagne Room for a touch of aquatic luxury, or indulge in a frozen margarita at The Rustic—its Legendary Rustic Rita, crowned with a mango popsicle, is a sweet way to beat high temperatures and cool down before the weekend rush.

The Dallas Theater calendar highlights a comedy treat Sunday when Canadian internet sensation Kurtis Conner brings his Goodfellow World Tour to the Majestic Theater, promising insightful laughs for fans of pop culture and sharp wit.

As August draws toward its finale, listeners should pencil in food adventures at Bonton Farms, where the farmer’s market and organic café offer fresh summer flavors before the season ends. And pet owners will want to prepare for National Dog Day on the 26th—Dallas is packed with dog-friendly spots, so grab the leash and explore the city’s outdoor patios and green spaces.
