What to do in Dallas this weekend: Nov 6–8, 2026.
Twenty-three events across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Nov 6–8, 2026, each with venue, time, price, and a source link, checked Nov 3, 2026. Eleven are confirmed on the organizer's own listing; twelve are reported. Prices and times change — the organizer link on every row is the last word.
Confirmed · source page
Reported · call ahead
Confirmed means the terms were read on the business's or organizer's own page on Nov 3, 2026. Reported means a named 2026 roundup, guide, or listing reported it, but the business's own page was not read in this check — call the location first. Nothing on this page was invented, and rows that could not be verified to either tier are left off entirely.
How this page works. This is a recurring edition: a new edition publishes every Monday covering the coming weekend, and past editions are archived by date and never silently edited. Corrections are noted on the edition, not rewritten into it. Concerts, festivals, and free events are folded into the day tables below; free events show “Free” in the price column.
