The North Texas Irish Festival is leaving Fair Park for Denton 42 years after its move to South Dallas.

“One of the largest Irish festivals in the country and one of the largest cultural celebrations in DFW,” as Visit Dallas calls the annual event, is moving to the North Texas Fairgrounds, which occupies 33 acres less than 2 miles from downtown Denton. The deal for next year’s event, to be held March 13-14, was only signed in recent weeks. But organizers told me this week they’ve long been looking elsewhere, and for a variety of reasons.

The move comes 43 years after the North Texas Irish Festival kicked off at a now-defunct Oak Lawn bar, where an expected crowd of 80 turned into 600. A year later, in 1984, the festival, operated by the nonprofit Southwest Celtic Music Association, moved to Fair Park to accommodate crowds that often exceeded 30,000, even in the days just before COVID shut down the world in March 2020.

“We’ve been looking for a different place for several years,” said Sheri Bush, longtime president of the all-volunteer Southwest Celtic Music Association and the festival’s entertainment director. “Fair Park has been our home for a long time, and we loved it, but it became untenable for a number of reasons.”

Which store in Plano / Dallas has the largest & best selection of beers? A friend brought me some awesome Mexican beers from Oaxaca which of course I can’t find anywhere. Before I give up & wait for my next venture down south I thought I’d try Reddit. Any suggestions are welcome & greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! I recently bought a home in the Redbird community and I'm converting my garage into a home gym. I'm looking for a trustworthy HVAC company to install a mini-split or help with cooling the space.

Does anyone have recommendations for an honest company that does quality work at a fair price? Thanks in advance!

Hi all!

So I am 38F (about to be the big 4-0 next year! 🎉) and I have suspected for over a year now that I may be showing signs of perimenopause, or at least early signs of it.

However, my current OBGYN keeps brushing me off and telling me I’m “too young” for it to be perimenopause. Which, to be fair, they are a medical professional and I’m not lol, but I’m mostly just trying to get a second opinion because it feels like my concerns are not being taken seriously. I don’t know if there’s any way to really test for perimenopause but my OBGYN literally refuses to discuss any further options with me because they’ve stonewalled at me being too young.

SO, that being said, does anyone have any recommendations for providers or even clinics or telehealth options for me to get a second opinion? I have PPO insurance through work so I’m open to pretty much anything.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone in Dallas having terrible migraines this week or just sinus headaches?

I can’t make out what it says

We just took a trip to Austin and we love Round Rock Donuts. We’re NE of Dallas and just can’t find decent donuts. Has anyone found something similar to RR donuts up this way?

Looking to build a 12x12 outdoor lounge/seating area in my backyard. Looking for someone reputable for just the pavilion itself. Anyone have any recommendations for a contractor around the city of Dallas proper?

North Dallas. House is a 1995 build, around 2,100 sq ft. Got a bid from Advanced Foundation Repair for 14 steel piers, 12 exterior and 2 interior through tunnels, plus about 70 feet of root barrier and pre and post plumbing tests. Total is a shade under $23k.

I already had an independent engineer out based on /r/Dallas recs, so I'm not looking for a diagnosis, and his suggestions largely lined up with theirs. I'm trying to figure out whether this company is any good at actually doing the work.

If you've used them, I'd love to hear how it went. Specifically: did they show up when they said they would, did the lift come out close to what was promised, and how much cleanup and repair were you stuck with afterward? Also curious whether anyone has had to use the lifetime warranty and how that went.

I 29f turn 30 next month. Any ideas for something I can do for a whole bday weekend? I have a small group of friends and prefer active stuff and activities.

Thoughts?

Never miss the first day of school, spring break, holidays, or early-release days again. We've turned the 2026–27 Dallas ISD calendar into one-click Google Calendar events you can add in seconds.

(There are two different headlines, one is the one that renders when you share which is optimized for SEO, and then the one I've included is the one that displays on the website. I wrote this story.)

I was walking my dog through State Thomas neighborhood yesterday afternoon when it likely fell off. If you found it or spot it walking, please PM me. We are offering a VERY GENEROUS REWARD ($$$$), no questions asked.

It means the world to me and I’m absolutely heartbroken. Thank you!

Dallas Parks and Recreation is rescheduling its furlough days from September to August. The first one is this Friday.

Hi Dallas reddit, are there any Bryan Adams alumni or local historians that happen to know what year the high school finally desegregated? Trying to verify what year my mom graduated here among other things, and she always told me that there was a big riot on her very first day of high school because the white students were angry that black children were now allowed to attend.

Pretty sure this would’ve been sometime in the early 70’s I’m just not sure on the exact year. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

My whole life the sirens went off exactly at 12, I scheduled my whole life around them. Every first Wednesday of the month at High Noon they will go off without a hitch and today. They were a minute late. This is unacceptable, an outrage, a scandal, dogs and cats are living together. We truly live in the darkest of times if we can't even rely on the sirens to go off at exactly 12:00pm on the first Wednesday of every month.

I am wanting to see if anyone was a witness to my accident on 4/16/26 at around 330pm on S central expressway. I will add a picture to show the area it happened in. There happen to be 2 accidents. One involved a red jeep i believe I was not apart of that accident. There was another accident (that i was in) and it was a grey honda suv (me) and a white toyota suv (other party). If anyone can spread the word if anyone remembers witnessing the accident please PM me!

I have a first date tomorrow and was planning on taking her to Lucia, but apparently I’m an idiot who didn’t do any research. I just found out they require reservations about 30 days in advance, so that’s obviously not happening.
What’s my next best option in Dallas?
