Never miss a big night out in DFW

Most "things to do in Dallas" lists are stale by the time you read them. DFW Discord checks event listings and official calendars around the Metroplex every few hours and posts only the events worth leaving the house for.

Event alerts that matter

Big concerts, pro and college sports, festivals and Fair Park weekends, ranked so the small stuff doesn't flood your feed.

One-tap RSVPs

Hit Going or Interested on any post and see who else from DFW is headed there before you buy tickets.

Carpool threads

Every event gets its own thread for rides, tailgates, meetup spots and spare tickets. Parking at AT&T Stadium is easier with friends.

"This weekend in DFW"

Every Thursday evening you get the top five things happening Friday through Sunday, so weekend plans take thirty seconds.

Day-before reminders

Said you're going? You'll get a nudge the day before, timed for daytime hours, not at midnight.

Say howdy to Big Tex

Our resident bot answers to /events, /weekend and a friendly hello. He's 55 feet of hospitality.
