What to do in Dallas-Fort Worth Texas

About
Hey there, fellow DFW adventurers! Saddle up, because your friendly guide is here to spill the beans on the hottest happenings in Dallas-Fort Worth today through the weekend. It's Sunday, January 25th, and the action is kicking off strong with that classic Texas flair.

Start your day right at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth for the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo at 7:30 PM tonight. Picture this: champion bull riders taking on massive beasts under blazing lights, the smell of popcorn and barbecue in the air, and crowds cheering like it's the Super Bowl of the Wild West. Gametime.co has tickets starting as low as $317 for lower level seats—grab 'em quick before they're gone!

Over in the iconic Fort Worth Stockyards, the Western vibes never quit. Catch the daily cattle drives twice a day, then dive into the Second Rodeo Brewing and Stockyards Foodie Tour running Thursday through Sunday at 4:30 PM, with extra Saturday noon slots. It's a tasty trek through smoky barbecue joints and craft brews that’ll have you feeling like a cowboy king, straight from the Fort Worth Stockyards site.

Music lovers, Billy Bob’s Texas is your honky-tonk heaven. Last night’s Ted Nugent show rocked the house at 10 PM, and tonight’s Filthy McNasty’s Saloon gig at 9:30 PM keeps the dance floor hopping with live country tunes in a spot that’s been grooving for generations. Looking ahead, Wynn Williams storms in Thursday the 29th at 9 PM, then the Turnpike Troubadours take over Friday the 30th, Saturday the 31st, and even spill into Sunday February 1st, all starting at 10 PM. Doors open at 6 PM, so get there early for that one-of-a-kind Stockyards energy.

In Dallas proper, Wyly Theatre hosts Dungeons and Dragons at The Twenty Sided Tavern starting at 1 PM today—perfect for gamers rolling dice and weaving epic tales. Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra dazzles Bass Performance Hall at 2 PM this afternoon, blending classical magic with Texas soul. And if you're into immersive fun, the Barbie: You Can Be Anything exhibit wraps up today after a month-long run, letting you dream big in pink-powered style.

The rest of the week builds with Xtreme Knockout MMA back at Billy Bob’s from earlier vibes, plus everyday Stockyards magic like artisan boot shopping and two-stepping. Weather might turn iffy by Monday’s canceled luncheon, so bundle up.

Listeners, whether you're roping steers or rocking out, DFW's got your thrill fix. Thanks for tuning in—subscribe for more weekly guides! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
