Get ready to kick back this weekend by attending an in-person event like the National Western Stock Show or an art exhibit (Saturday is the last day to visit the Zona Rosa exhibit at K Contemporary). You can also attend an online event from the comfort of your home like a painting or cooking class. 

Also, as COVID-19 cases ramp up across the metro and mask mandates are still in place, we decided to update our listings. Events with an * indicate the event is taking place virtually or outdoors.
