• Centraltrak is hosting a Carnivale party. They will have a sound installation, impromptu dancing, live music and cotton candy. They had me at impromptu dancing.
• It's Late Night time at the DMA. This is also the last weekend to view Take Your Time by Olafur Eliasson.
• Trammell Crow is hosting a series of fun adult arts and crafts focusing on Japanese forms of expression (and when I say "adult" I mean mostly for adults, not arts and crafts that are "adult" in nature). Learn quilting, origami and calligraphy, among other fun crafts.
