+Erba is an interactive, multimedia dance performance with two dancers who create, with children, an imaginary city. The “architect” dancer creates streets and houses full of color and light, while the other dancer adds grass and trees. Their creations are projected on two large screens. Experience the performance at the Eisemann Center, just across the plaza from the Red Line’s Galatyn Park Station.

Friday, April 26-Sunday, April 28 

You Can’t Take it with You is the stage classic following a large and extended family of charming eccentrics. When the granddaughter falls for her boss, she fears that their two families, so different in temperament, will never see eye to eye. Catch the performance at Granville Arts Center, right next to Downtown Garland Station on the Blue Line.

Saturday, April 27
Hidden History DFW's Black History Tour is an educational tour that visits many sites instrumental in the development of Dallas’ vibrant African American communities. Visitors will learn about the two largest settlements following the Civil War and how the southern Dallas migration changed the face of the city forever. The tour departs from J.B. Jackson, Jr. Transit Center at 9 a.m. sharp. The transit center is right next to MLK, Jr. Station on the Green Line, and is also served by bus routes 13, 23, 104 and 216.

Festival of Joy is a colorful celebration of Indian culture. The fun day in the park is full of vibrant colors, flowers, music, and dance – plus a free vegetarian feast. In the evening, popular Indian artist Gaura Vani performs Indian kirtan music with Western elements such as guitar, gospel music, and hip-hop. Feel the joy at Klyde Warren Park, walkable from St. Paul Station on all four DART Rail lines, or from the M-line trolley.

D’JAM
celebrates North Texas jazz with its second annual Jazz Stroll. The “Day of Jazz” transforms Flora Street into a kind of jazz alley. The Dallas Arts District is walkable from Pearl/Arts District Station on all four DART Rail lines, or from the M-Line trolley.
