The fireworks have been popped, the sparklers are out and it’s time to pack up your lawn chair and go home. What’s left to do for the rest of the Fourth of July weekend? Here are five events going on this weekend that you can do after you finish celebrating Independence Day.
You may have fallen in love with him at FÜDTRUKY, and now you have a chance to see him play locally again. Devin Leigh, a one-man-band incorporating percussion and harmonica into his dynamic show, returns to Southlake this weekend. If you come to Taverna Rossa 9:30 p.m. Friday at 1151 East Southlake Blvd, you’ll get the full experience of his music that inducted him into the Texas Blues Hall of Fame. Don’t forget to grab a few slices of pizza and brews while you’re at it.
The Legoland Discovery Center in Grapevine has a few special guests this weekend, and they’re all wearing the badge and the navy blue. Come to the center all weekend at the Grapevine Mills Mall and build your own police badge, super rescue helicopters, vehicles and more as you build your own police adventure. Be sure to watch Lego City’s new 4D movie “Officer in Pursuit” after you’re done having fun!
This weekend is the last opportunity to “sea” the mermaids over at Sea Life Grapevine Aquarium. Come anytime between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday at 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway and watch mermaids as they perform underwater next to sharks, turtles and other extravagant sea creatures. Tickets range from $14.99 - $35.95.
Reverse Scavenger Hunt School Supply Drive
Want to do something fun that will help the community at the same time? The Keller Area Mom’s Group is hosting a Reverse Scavenger Hunt School Supply Drive to benefit Donation House of Fort Worth. Instead of finding prizes, kids will be given clues to find area businesses and drop school supplies off at their doorstep. The Reverse Scavenger Hunt will take place Friday through Sunday at the Southlake area. Clues will be posted online on their events page.
Two of history’s greatest music icons come alive this weekend in this special rock revitalization from two talented tribute artists. Kraig Parker joins the stage with Al Nelson to perform as Elvis Presley and Roy Orbinson in this special three-hour rock-and-roll concert at the Palace Arts Center. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at 300 South Main Street, with ticket prices ranging from $25-$40. You can't help fall in love with this legendary rock-and-roll matchup.
