DALLAS — Y'all, it's a big weekend for Dallas-Fort Worth.
Two presidential campaign rallies, the last weekend of the State Fair and the grand opening of a new park in downtown Dallas are just a few of the many things happening this weekend.
So here's what we got for ya.
Thursday
1. President Donald Trump is hosting a 2020 campaign rally at the American Airlines Center on Thursday at 7 p.m. If you haven't gotten tickets yet, it appears you can still do so if you're interested. Click here for more information on how to register to attend.
And if you're not heading to the rally, you may want to avoid downtown Dallas -- security is going to be tight, and that includes road closures.
2. Not a Trump fan? Beto O'Rourke, a Democratic presidential candidate, is going to be in the area Thursday night as well, hosting his own campaign rally at the Theatre at Grand Prairie.
His rally starts at 6 p.m. and appears to still be open to the public to attend.
