It’s the last weekend of the State Fair of Texas – for the year, at least – so if you haven’t gone yet, git along to “the most Texas place on Earth.” And there’s another reason to head to Fair Park this weekend: On Saturday, Oct. 18, Dallas Trinity FC, the city's first professional women's soccer team, hosts Club América Femenil in the first ever State Fair Clásico.

DART is the best ride to Fair Park. If you aren’t going this weekend, there’s still plenty of DARTable entertainment in store. Read on for some ideas.
