Tax-Free Weekend is upon the state of Texas and the Dallas area. To celebrate it, The Shops at Park Lane are hosting back-to-back events for the community on August 8 and 9 to celebrate the end of the summer. 

All the events are free to the public and will feature sweet treats, a cooling station to stave off the beating sun, and live music. Families will also be able to get some much-needed back-to-school essentials at all retail stores, as well as the lifestyle center. 

“Tax-Free Weekend is one of our favorite times of year because it brings families together as they prepare for a new school year,” says Amanda Lopez, marketing director of The Shops at Park Lane. “We wanted to make the experience about more than just shopping by creating a weekend filled with activities, entertainment, and memories families can enjoy.” 

The events during the weekend include:
