St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Things may get rowdy at Greenville Avenue’s 37th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade —more than 125,000 people are expected to attend — but that’s part of the fun. The lively procession begins at the Corner of Greenville and Blackwell and ends near SMU Boulevard. Wear green or be shunned.

Triangles
As the saying goes, two’s company but three’s a crowd. “Triangles” certainly drives that point home. It’s a collection of three humorous one-act plays about trios, written more than 30 years ago by Pocket Sandwich Theatre co-founder Joe Dickinson.

More than 500,000 spring-blossoming bulbs have burst at the Dallas Arboretum and there are massive topiaries shaped like Texas. Basically, it’s an Instagrammer’s dream.
