Party Like it’s the Prohibition
Dallas Whiskey Festival | November 14, 6pm – 10pm
For the 4th annual Dallas Whiskey Festival, CBS Radio is taking you back to the original ‘Sin City’ of the 1960’s to indulge in some of the most popular activities of the decade. Tickets include whiskey and fine spirit tastings, delicious samplings from local restaurants, swingin’ live music and if you’re a bettin’ man, a little gambling too.
Good Times are A-Brewin’
Homebrew Throwdown | November 15, 12pm – 6pm
Fort Worth Weekly’s Inaugural Homebrew Throwdown will feature local breweries and host a friendly craft beer competition amongst home-brewers. There will also be plenty of food-truck action, live music, and a series of Q&A sessions with the pros. Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast thirsting to try something new, a home-brewer dying to share your latest batch, or both, this is a party you won’t want to miss.
Trottin’ for Tradition
Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot | November 26th, 9am
Going strong with 48 years of Thanksgiving tradition, runners and walkers are invited to join in and trot a 5k or take on the 8-miler this year. This family friendly event is a fun way to get your appetite goin’ before the big feast, and for some brave enough to dodge strollers and hurdle dogs it’s an opportunity to set a new record time.
Home for the Holidays

Spend the weekend immersed in an old fashioned Christmas festival in the heart of downtown McKinney.
