We’re halfway through the hottest month of the year — at least according to National Weather Service climate data. But don’t let the heat keep you from having a good time. Here are a few events that’ll keep you cool — or, at the least, thoroughly entertained.
1. Dreamgirls Musical
Jubilee Theatre presents Dream Girls, one of the most successful and explosive musicals in American theater history. This rounds out Jubilee Theatre’s 41st season. Catch the cultural phenomenon Aug. 11 – 14.
506 Main St.
2. Fort Worth Mimosa Fest
The Texas Republic presents Fort Worth’s Mimosa Fest this Sunday, Aug. 14. Everyone can enjoy their favorite brunch cocktail (unless that favorite brunch cocktail happens to be a bloody mary) alongside a live DJ and brunch menu. The event kicks things off at noon and lasts to 3 p.m.
