The Women's Museum Weekend Activities

Fair Park’s public events listings show a cluster of Women’s Museum programming in Dallas from Thursday, May 21, through Saturday, May 23, 2026. The schedule includes “Poetry Smash #7: Open Mic” on May 21 and “Lyric Nidae: Into Orbit” on May 22 and May 23, according to the Fair Park calendar. (fairparkdallas.com) Both events are listed at The Women’s Museum, one of the venues inside Fair Park. Tickets are being sold through Fair Park’s event pages. (fairparkdallas.com) The Fair Park website does not describe the weekend as a formal museum-wide family activities program. (fairparkdallas.com) Instead, the public listings verified for May 22-23 point to two ticketed evening performances at The Women’s Museum, with a related museum event on May 21. That means visitors planning a weekend stop should check the event page directly for the latest lineup and entry details. ### What is actually scheduled at The Women’s Museum that weekend? The Fair Park calendar lists “Lyric Nidae: Into Orbit” at The Women’s Museum on Friday, May 22, 2026, at 9:00 p.m., and again on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. (fairparkdallas.com) The event page says the performance features Lyric Davis in “a full musical evening of R&B, jazz and pop.” Fair Park lists the ticket price at $10. Thursday, May 21, is also part of the same run of museum programming. Fair Park lists “Poetry Smash #7: Open Mic” at The Women’s Museum at 7:30 p.m., with doors at 6:30 p.m., and the event page describes it as an open mic platform for creative artists “coordinated by B. (fairparkdallas.com) Randall.” That event is also priced at $10, according to the listing. ### Is this a daytime family exhibit program or an evening performance lineup? The verified Fair Park listings point to evening events, not daytime exhibit sessions. “Poetry Smash #7: Open Mic” is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., while “Lyric Nidae: Into Orbit” is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. on both nights, according to the official event pages. (fairparkdallas.com) The event descriptions also frame the programming as live performance. Fair Park says “Lyric Nidae: Into Orbit” is hosted by TBAAL Millennial Board members Regan Rodriguez, Darion Walton and Kimberly Johnson, and describes Lyric Davis as an artist blending personal experience into an eclectic sound. (fairparkdallas.com) ### Where inside Fair Park is the venue? The Women’s Museum event pages direct visitors to enter at Gate 3 on the 3800 block of Parry Avenue. The pages say the venue is east of the Music Hall and that complimentary parking is currently available. (fairparkdallas.com) Dallas Parks describes Fair Park as a large cultural and entertainment center about two miles east of downtown Dallas. The city’s Fair Park page says the site includes museums and performance venues and is accessible from Interstate 30, Interstate 45 and the DART Green Line. (fairparkdallas.com) ### What should visitors know before they go? Fair Park’s listings show other major events on the grounds the same weekend, including “Wicked” at the Music Hall, Texas Turtle Day at Leonhardt Lagoon on May 23, Pitbull at Dos Equis Pavilion on May 23 and MGK on May 24. That means traffic and parking demand across Fair Park could be heavier than at a single-venue event. (fairparkdallas.com) The current next step is on the Fair Park events pages. As of May 19, 2026, the calendar shows “Poetry Smash #7: Open Mic” on Thursday, May 21, followed by “Lyric Nidae: Into Orbit” on Friday, May 22, and Saturday, May 23, all at The Women’s Museum, with tickets listed online at $10 per event.
