UN•TUX: Drag for a Cause , a sparkle‑filled Saturday night

If you want all the razzle and a strong charitable note, UN•TUX is the show to see. Marsha Dimes and Nippy Peakes return to emcee a Black Tie Dinner fundraiser in The Rose Room at S4, with a VIP reception from 4.30pm and doors opening for general admission at 5.30pm. Tickets start at $30, so it’s an accessible night out that still feels special.

Black Tie Dinner events tend to balance glamour with purpose, and this one is no different. Expect polished performances, playful costumes and the sort of crowd that enjoys glamming up for a cause. If you like a quieter lead‑in, spring for the VIP slot to catch pre‑show mingling and maybe a better view of the stage.

Bring a card for donations and comfortable, yet chic, footwear if you’ll be standing. And if you’ve never been to The Rose Room, note it’s intimate; plan for early arrival if you want a good spot.

Clover Classic: putt‑putt for Prism Health North Texas

The Clover Classic is back as a fundraising putt‑putt tournament on Cedar Springs, organised by the Cedar Springs Merchants Association to support Prism Health North Texas. Teams of four register for $120 and play for a cash top prize of $1,000, which gives the event a light competitive edge.

This is community fundraising with a playful twist , think streetwise mini‑golf, local sponsors and a friendly crowd. It’s ideal if you want to support healthcare access while doing something social and relaxed. Register early at the Prism Health site to lock in your team slot and check whether there are themed holes or after‑party plans.

For groups, bring a mix of players so you’re not relying on one putter, and consider fundraising beyond the entry fee to boost the benefit.

Sisters in Action Charity Drag Brunch , fun, food and fundraising on Sunday

If brunch is your preferred weekend way to enjoy drag, Thai Mai Shu’s Sisters in Action returns to The Rose Room with performers including Shantaé Morgan and Gennifer With A G. Doors open at 12.30pm for a 1.30pm show, buffet catered by Otterly Gingertastic, and tickets cost around $15 , a very reasonable price for drag plus food.

Brunch shows are sociable and lighter in tone than evening fundraisers: expect comedy, audience interaction and a relaxed weekend vibe. If you have dietary needs, check the buffet menu in advance or eat beforehand , these events can sell out fast, especially when they support local causes.

Book on Eventbrite and arrive early for good seating and to soak in the pre‑show atmosphere.

Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum , thoughtful programming amid the parties

Not every event this week is sequinned and loud; the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is offering a docent‑led themed tour of its permanent exhibition, plus a Civil Discourse Series panel on the future of healthcare. Tours begin at 1.30pm with ticket prices in the $12–$19 range, while the healthcare panel runs 7–9pm and tackles access, costs and policy.

These programmes are a quieter, reflective complement to the Pride weekend energy, and they attract people who want substance alongside celebration. If you’re attending the panel, come ready for nuanced discussion and questions; for the tour, allow time to absorb exhibits and the museum shop.

How to plan your weekend , a few practical tips

Look up exact start times and buy tickets in advance , the S4 shows and the putt‑putt event are likely to move quickly. If you’re bouncing between events, factor in parking and transit: Cedar Springs fills up for Pride‑adjacent events, so consider public transport or ride‑sharing. Pack a small cash amount for tips and merch, and wear layers if you’ll be hopping between air‑conditioned venues and the street.

Finally, mix and match: a Saturday night UN•TUX show, Sunday morning putt‑putt with friends, then a museum visit for a calmer afternoon makes for a satisfying weekend that supports community causes and offers a range of vibes.

It's a small change to your calendar that can make this weekend feel both festive and meaningful.
