The Lamar Street Festival’s mission is to showcase the
beauty and creativity of the Cedars South Side neighborhood, its businesses and
its residents and to nurture artful and economic relationships with all
surrounding communities. South Side on Lamar has, since its inception,
celebrated and encouraged an inclusive demographic of creative artists,
professionals, musicians, educators and established businesses. The authentic
diversity of the Cedars South Side neighborhood is an asset for the city as it
seeks to continue bridging the verve of downtown with sustainable and equitable
business and community engagement in South Dallas.

FC Dallas vs. Seattle Sounders -$12 & up
Game starts at 3pm. Tickets starting as low as $12
TEDxSMU Watch Party - Free
Some people are simply more interesting than the rest. You can attempt
to deny that, but will eventually reach acceptance during TEDxSMU,
the locally licensed branch of the global idea exchange. It returns to
the Wyly on Saturday with its 2013 edition, “And Then ...” where it will
delight a full house, thanks to a well-curated crop of speakers and
sold-out seats. This year’s talent pool is as deep as it is diverse.
Your orators range in backgrounds from robotics and cyber security to
global health initiatives, arts activism, storytelling and jet
propulsion — and that’s just scratching the surface. There’s also a
neuroscience researcher and sleep gene genius on this ticket. And a
former Blue Angels pilot. There’s even a professor of internal medicine
who, in addition to being a teacher and award-winning doctor, has
climbed the seven highest summits in the world. There’s a completely
free watch party happening at Union (5622 Dyer St.) from 10 a.m. to 6
p.m., so you can kick back on a couch and absorb the day o’ learning via
live feed.
Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon and Dennis Miller - $46 & up
Has the government shutdown still got you down? Looking for a reason to
get out of bed now that summer is over, at least in the strictest
technical sense? Or maybe you’re just disappointed at the newest crop of
freshmen Saturday Night Live players. What you need is a healthy
dose of comedy. Let alumni of SNL bring you back to simpler, happier
times at the Allen Convention Center, 200 E. Stacy Road. Dana Carvey (aka the Church Lady), Kevin Nealon (aka Subliminal Man) and Dennis Miller
(oh yeah, he was on SNL, wasn’t he?) are a comedic superstorm that
takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. All have had successful careers
post-SNL but they’ve rarely appeared on stage together, so this
one-night-only show is even more exciting. We’re super pumped to see
Hanz and Franz together again, and to hear two Weekend Update veterans
at once. Tickets are available through ticketmaster.com and the Allen
Event Center Box Office.
Animal Inside Out - $27

an anatomical safari of more than 100 specimens. Each animal is
