Not only is the upcoming weekend expected to be sunny and beautiful, it is also Labor Day weekend, which means many folks have an extra day to soak up the sunshine and enjoy some of the events happening around town.
Here are a few of the celebrations happening around Dallas and Fort-Worth this weekend.
