Dallas Arboretum -
Cool Thursday Concert with Fast Lane
Thursday, 7:30pm,

(Outside if Sunshine, inside if Rain)

One of our personal favorites, Fast lane is a 6 piece Eagles Tribute band based here in North Texas. They flawlessly recreate all of the classic hits of the Eagles-Best of My Love, Lyin’ Eyes, and of course, Hotel California. Check out their website here – www.fastlanetribute.com.

Concerts on the lawn at the Arboretum are a great way to spend an evening. Enjoy the beautiful lawn hillside setting, overlooking the lake, bring your own food and drinks (alcohol is permitted), or purchase it all right there.

Relax, have a picnic and when the band cranks up, everybody gets up and dances. Tickets may be purchased online here or at the Arboretum ticket booth. $16 /adults, $7 /children 3-12, and $6 for members of the Arboretum and their children.

Tickets often sell out quickly, so be sure to purchase your tickets early. And if you purchase an Arboretum member pass, tickets are half price and parking is free! Where else could you hear live Eagles music in such as beautiful setting for only $8 each!
