Take a stroll through the shops, watch the cattle and livestock shows, jump on some rides + enjoy classic carnival food. Bonus: A rodeo ticket includes day-of fairground access.
Music The Auditorium Concert Series will kick off at Will Rogers Memorial Center on Wed., Jan. 19 + feature performances from top acts like Kansas and Jeff Foxworthy. A free concert will also be held every night at the Bud Light Roadhouse, located on the east side of Dickies Arena.

Editor's Pick: I was born and raised in Texas so the thought of wind chills in the teens has me feeling a bit like this. I recently received a copy of Cooking at Home — a cookbook created by local chefs — and what better day to channel my inner Julia Child and cook up some dishes? I’ll keep y’all updated on how it goes.
