Are you looking for things to do in Waxahachie this weekend, or maybe the week to come?<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve found the original<\/strong> comprehensive list of weekly events in the area \u2014 and IT\u2019S FREE \u2014 NO PAYWALL \u2014 EVER!<\/h2>\n

I know that I have to be failing to include some of the live music performances that are happening in the area. If you know of a venue that\u2019s hosting talent and needs to be included in this weekly update, email me with the details.<\/p>\n

And, although it\u2019s not strictly a local venue, I\u2019ve started including some of the bigger shows taking place at the Historic Lancaster Theatre. Some of what\u2019s coming up at that venue is interesting and a departure from what we see happening in town, like a magic show coming this summer.<\/p>\n
