Dallas-Fort Worth is buzzing this summer weekend with an unbeatable mix of music, western thrills, cultural celebrations, and even a few experiences you just won’t get anywhere else. Here’s what listeners need to know to make the most out of their week and weekend in the Metroplex.

First up, western sports take center stage Saturday night at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, with The American Performance Horseman. This is the world’s most highly attended single-day Western performance event, featuring 24 top-ranked professionals competing in the high-stakes sports of cutting, reining, and reined cow horse. But that’s not all—after the dust settles, chart-topping country group Brothers Osborne will take the arena stage with an exclusive post-event concert. According to Dickies Arena, fans can even snag a special ticket upgrade for premium concert viewing right on the floor in the Dust Kicker zone. The action kicks off at 6 PM, and it’s perfect for all fans of cowboy culture and big-time live music.

Over in Dallas, Strauss Square transforms into a fiesta of rhythm, color, and energy with the Dallas Colombian Festival. Uptown Latino and Representa are bringing the largest Colombian Festival in North Texas to downtown’s open-air venue from 3 to 11 PM Saturday. General admission and VIP options unlock hours of live music, Colombian cuisine, and a Carnaval de Barranquilla-style Hora Loca party hosted by visiting Colombian queens. Magic Juan, Son Curramba, and more deliver the soundtrack, bringing Caribbean and Latin beats right to Flora Street. For families, kids under 12 enter free with a general pass, making this a joyful and cultural highlight of the summer.

Looking for more live music? Dallas is turning up the volume all weekend. Dos Equis Pavilion hosts country hitmaker Parker McCollum Saturday evening as part of his What Kinda Man Tour—the show starts at 7:30 PM and is sure to draw a big crowd.
