Things To Do in Dallas - August 10-16

1. Movies Under the Dallas Sky: Shrek

Aug. 14 | Omni Dallas Hotel, Pegasus Lawn | Free, 7:30 p.m.

Pegasus Lawn keeps its free outdoor movie series going with a screening of Shrek under the downtown skyline, presented by Hops & Hens and Pegasus Pizza. Bring a blanket or low chair, grab a bite from the sponsors on-site, and settle in for a laid-back family movie night in the heart of downtown.

2. Downtown Goat Yoga

Aug. 15 | Harwood Park | $25, 10–11 a.m.

Get your "goga" on as a tribe of pet goats graze, jump, and generally crash the party during this outdoor yoga class at Harwood Park. Bring your own mat (towels are provided), come dressed for the weather, and expect some nudging, nibbling, and photo-worthy chaos — it's open to ages 5 and up with a participating adult, and proceeds go directly to caring for the goats.

3. Farm to Flame Signature Dining Experience

Aug. 15 | Omni Dallas Hotel, Texas Spice patio | Ticketed, 21+

Texas Spice's open-fire dining series returns with a seasonal, locally sourced multi-course feast cooked entirely over live flame, paired with Texas-inspired cocktails for each course. A chef chat walks guests through the history and traditions of Texas cooking between bites. Capped at 20 guests on the tree-shaded patio, with smart casual attire recommended.

4. El Peso Hero: Guardian of the Borderlands

Through Aug. 15 | Latino Cultural Center | Free

This exhibition brings to life El Peso Hero, the bilingual comic series created by Dallas-area educator and artist Héctor Rodríguez III, following reluctant Mexican American superhero Ignacio Rivera as he defends the disenfranchised along the U.S.-Mexico border. Blending high-stakes action with commentary on immigration, equity, and multiculturalism, the show transforms the comic's narrative into a multisensory gallery experience celebrating comics as a vehicle for Latino empowerment. Rodríguez, also founder of Texas Latino Comic Con, drew on his own upbringing in Eagle Pass for the story.

5. 6th Annual Irish Slammer

Aug. 13 | Harwood Arms | Free, 8 p.m. till late

Harwood Arms goes big for its 6th annual Irish Slammer, attempting an unofficial world record for the most Irish slammers slammed in one night starting at 8:30 p.m., followed by live band karaoke at 10. It's free to attend (RSVP just gets you in on the slam, not a table), and every participant — win or lose — keeps a commemorative souvenir pint glass. Sláinte!

Registration is $35.

8. An Amalfi Coast Brunch at Monarch

Aug. 16 | Monarch | 10 a.m.–1:30 p.m., price varies
