Eat, drink or catch a concert at Victory Park

Victory Park is the one area in Downtown Dallas proper to find great entertainment other than staring at office buildings. Victory Park is home to American Airlines Center and the House of Blues, bringing in sports fans and concert goers alike, and offers a whole host of activities for pre and/or post partying. Grab a pre-event meal or cocktail at the Hard Rock Cafe or Victory Tavern, or make your own post-party at the W Hotel’s famous Ghost Bar. Victory Park’s plaza also hosts a variety of events from concerts and sports watch parties during away games, to summer movie nights and the biggest New Year’s Eve party in town.

2. Kick off 2010 with the New Year’s Parade 1/1/10

Brush off the hangover and head downtown for the ComePicture 16rica Bank New Year’s Parade to start the New Year off right. As a precursor celebration to the Cotton Bowl, the parade will star the Oklahoma State Cowboy Marching Band, Ole Miss’s Rebel Marching Band, and the cheerleaders from both schools. As usual, the parade will also feature the world famous Kilgore Rangerettes as well as 35 high school bands and drill teams from across the country that have been invited to participate in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Music Festival.  There will also be many floats to view.

The parade starts in the Dallas Art District, and will conclude in Victory Park, next to American Airlines Center.
