Things To Do This Week.

Get The Jump On Your 4/8 – 4/14 Plans.

It's looking like it's going to be a real feel-good week in Dallas. Among the things to do? Well, there's a pooch parade, a food truck rally and a craft fair. So what's not to be happy about? Nothing, that's what — especially over at the Meddlesome Moth (where they'll be tapping various Texas craft brews all week in celebration of their second anniversary) and at next weekend's Big Texas Beer Fest in Fair Park. Plus, there's some good music in town too. From a surf rock king to Austin indie legends to a critical darling and a hot buzz band, there are huge concert options throughout the week.

Let's have some fun, y'all.
