Things to do in the Dallas Arts District

We’re exploring the dynamic Dallas Arts District, full of outdoor fun, museums, food, people-watching, and more.

Twenty-five years ago, locals used to joke that Downtown Dallas rolled up its sidewalks at 5 p.m. and everybody drove home. Only certain pockets, like Deep Ellum with its music scene or the West End Marketplace, welcomed regular crowds for nights and weekends.

What was once sleepy is now home to a cultural, architectural, and creative powerhouse: the Dallas Arts District. This is the largest contiguous arts district in the U.S., spanning 19 city blocks that are easily walkable with short distances between attractions. It’s ideal for navigating during the warm weather months, offering outdoor fun, museums, performance venues, food, people-watching, and more. So put on your sneakers and let’s explore this dynamic Arts District.
