2022 Juneteenth 3K Walk & Festival  starts with a Health & Wellness Walk and ends with a Community Festival, complete with live entertainment, local black-owned vendors, concessions and kids’ activities. The celebration takes place at Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, near MLK, Jr. Station on the Green Line.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a classic of American theater, full of booze, anger and marital strife – all driven by the sharp dialog of playwright Edward Albee. The 1962 masterpiece follows a college professor and his wife, plus a younger couple they’ve invited over after a faculty party. The younger couple is drawn into their older colleagues’ grotesque and sharp-tongued conflicts. See it at Theatre Three through July 3. You can get there on the M-Line Trolley, which runs until midnight on weekends.

Lone Star BBQ and Music Festival pairs barbecue from all over Texas with live music. All the best local pit masters will be on hand. All in all, there will be 30 barbecue joints and seven bands, including disco masters Le Freak. Come hungry to the festival which will be at the Levy Event Plaza in Las Colinas, near the Orange Line’s Las Colinas Urban Center Station.
