Dallas Black Pride shows another side of gay culture
You might think Gay Pride is over in Dallas, but you’d be wrong. Because, for the 18th year, the gay black community is uniting for a weekend of events that encourage pride among people of color. But you don’t need to be black to attend the many parties, events, speakers, shows and music that is black Pride — you just need to keep your Pride flag flying.

Event scheduled at numerous venues.

Howdy, folks! State Fair kicks off!
Texans are proud about how big we do things, and few are bigger than the State Fair, which settles into Dallas for four weekends. There are tons of events and attractions, especially the fried foods, but we’re really interested in Baconation, a booth inside the Tower Building that celebrates hot crispy pig parts! It’s great to be a Texan!
DEETS:
Fair Park Grounds at First Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Open daily at 10 a.m. For complete schedule, visit BigTex.org.
