1. State Fair of Texas announces lower prices amid rising inflation (fox44news.com) — Dallas families heading to the State Fair of Texas this year will see cheaper admission, parking, rides, and more than 200 food and drink options priced at $10 or less. With new discount days tied to canned food and peanut butter donations, plus senior and online ticket deals, locals can better manage costs while still enjoying the fair's full slate of attractions.
2. Dallas police, firefighters blast city manager's no-show as contract deadline looms (cbsnews.com) — Dallas police and firefighter unions are criticizing City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert for missing a key contract meeting just weeks before their agreements expire at the end of September. They're demanding higher pay, preserved health benefits, and faster negotiations, while Tolbert says she had to attend a presidential meet‑and‑greet during the Republican convention and insists the city's team is ready to bargain in good faith.
3. Dallas police tout security success after GOP midterm convention as businesses report losses (cbsnews.com) — Dallas residents are learning that police consider the Republican midterm convention a security success, even as nearby small businesses say barricades and street closures wiped out their customer traffic for days. Only two arrests were reported, but one Victory Park restaurant closed for two days and served just five customers all week, while the city now faces a multimillion‑dollar security bill and slow federal reimbursement.
4. Dallas Catholics mark 25th anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks with prayer, remembrance (cbsnews.com) — In Dallas, Catholics spent the day marking the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks with bell tolls, a special Mass, and evening prayer led by Bishop Edward Burns. Parishioners, including many too young to remember 2001, emphasized keeping victims' families in their prayers and preserving first‑hand stories so future generations understand the day's impact.
5. Harry Styles Announces 2027 'Together, Together' Tour Dates (995theapple.com) — Harry Styles is bringing his final "Together, Together" tour leg to Dallas with two stadium shows at AT&T Stadium on April 9 and 10, 2027.
