What can make dark skies turn blue? Well, besides a break in the weather, music can. It will lift your spirits and make you glad you ditched your snuggie for an outside adventure. Here in Irving, Texas we have quite a line up of diverse music this weekend, and combined with great food it's the perfect recipe to put a little sunshine in your soul.  So grab the umbrella and head on out to one of these events. Don't forget to drive friendly now.

Come early and stay late. If ever that sounded like a good idea, now is the time.  No longer does your evening out include just a concert, just a movie, or just a bite to eat.  With so much to do around Irving, you can fill your plate with a whole lot of fun.

Have you ever seen so many celebrations in one weekend? Neither have we so we're going to break it down for you here.  Why pick and choose when you can do it all? Get out there and have some fun!

Get ready for a SUPER weekend in Irving with so many things to see and do.  Tonight is First Friday Date Night in the Heritage District which offers dining, shopping and live music. So grab your honey and enjoy a pre-Valentine's date night in historic downtown.  This weekend you can catch a live show, join in a Super Bowl party, enjoy cultural events ... with so much going on, there's something for everyone.  Be sure to visit our website at www.irvingtexas.com for additional area events.

When you have been driving around the Metroplex all week long, aren't you glad that on the weekends we have so many things to do and see right here in Irving?  Without further adieu, let's check out what's going on around here this weekend.

Here's to a few days of fun and laughter, listening to live music, meeting up with close friends, learning about love, shopping for ideas, and trying out new tastes.  Come find it all in Irving, Texas. 

Are you feeling the urge to self-inventory and create a "new you" list for 2018?  Here's a suggestion, take time to get out and have fun! If it's permission you're looking for, then I freely give it.  If it's the ability to carve out extra time, then you're on your own. I struggle with that too. But don't you hate that feeling of finding out after the fact there was something fantastic going on right in your own backyard, and you missed it?  That, I can help you with. Check out these events below or visit our website for more - www.irvingtexas.com. Be sure to tag us on those photos!  #VisitIrving  And don't forget to bundle up 'cause baby it's cold (and possibly icy) out there.

Do you know that after this weekend there are only seven more shopping days until Christmas!?! Oh boy, not enough time to order something online and get that free shipping discount.  Let me see, where can you shop for last minute gifts? You're in luck! I've scoured the city for some great ideas on unique holiday gifting. Check these out . . . 

During the holidays, it seems like there's a song in my heart all the time.  Joy fills the air from shiny lamp post decorations to the brisk chilly weather to the songs of the season.  Around here, we don't have to go far to find a wide array of live music.  In fact, I've lined them up here for you.  And remember, you can always find more at www.irvingtexas.com. 

It's that most wonderful time of the year. We've got chili pots cooking, and people parading, and lights on the tree.  Irving's the hap, happiest place to be. 

I hope the season's festivities call to you like they do to me.  I want to drink cocoa, trim the tree, go shopping, and soak up this great weather.  Please join me and your neighbors this weekend at the Historic District of Irving where there's plenty of Christmas joy to go around. I hear the parade this year is about twice as long as before, and you know what that means . . . more candy!  And "You-Know-Who" might make an appearance too. Be sure to tag us on any photos you take. #VisitIrving
