DALLAS — We're finally past Election Day, and if you're anything like us, you're looking to forget about it this weekend. Luckily, there's plenty going on around the metroplex to help you do that.
From sports to concerts to movies to festivals, here's everything going on this weekend.
Friday:
We're deep into the NHL season and the Stars are doing pretty good this year, ranking just second in their division in the Western Conference. The Stars are 8-4 this year, and their opponents, the San Jose Sharks, are second-to-last in their division at just 3-8. So, come out and cheer on the Stars as they look to keep up their winning record this season this Friday at the American Airlines Center.
