There’s a cultural weekend in store, with a kind of retro theme running through it. The weather should be pretty nice. Check out the following events:

Thursday, Sept. 14

Get an early start to the weekend by partaking in the Downtown Plano Art & Wine Walk. At this “sip and shop” event, you get to sample selected wines at the great shops of Downtown Plano while enjoying live music, curated art exhibitions, and special discounts. The theme this go-around is “I Love the ‘80s.” It's the perfect way to unwind. The evening begins at 5 p.m., steps from Downtown Plano Station.

Friday, Sept. 15

It’s the third Friday of the month, so that means 'til Midnight at the Nasher is happening tonight. As always, there will be a live outdoor concert with great local talent and a film screening. There are also social media scavenger hunts, progressive tours, and, of course, the greatness of the Nasher collection. Wolfgang Puck Catering offers bar services, snacks and tacos, which are pretty great, too. Walker Lukens takes the stage at 7 p.m., and the film – 2002’s Catch Me If You Can – starts at 9 p.m. It’s free! 

Right across the street, it’s Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art. Tonight will feature a “retro” theme, with a talk exploring pop culture and nostalgia, plus lots more -- including a happy hour performance by the Matt Tolentino Band and an 8 p.m. show by the Hip Van Winkles. To get to either venue, take DART Rail to St. Paul Station; you can also catch the D-Link (Route 722) or M-Line Trolley to get there.

Saturday, Sept. 16
