Red River Rivalry Weekend

Galleria Dallas is hosting Red River Rivalry Weekend from Friday, October 9 to Sunday, October 11, a few days before the big game. It's a tradition that's built around the rivalry between the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma, and it's one of those things that turns a shopping trip into a bit of a sporting event.

The centerpiece is the Red River Singoff, where choral groups from both UT and OU perform a free concert. It's become a Galleria Dallas tradition, and it's probably the only time you'll find these two schools sharing a stage instead of facing off on the field. If you're into choral music, it's a good excuse to hear both sides in one go.

Beyond the music, the weekend is geared toward fans. Several stores across the mall are offering Red River discounts to anyone wearing Texas or Oklahoma gear, so if you've got your jersey or a team shirt, it's worth wearing it while you're there. There are also Red River photo ops set up in the outdoor plaza, which is a good spot to grab a picture with your friends before the game weekend kicks into high gear.

Between the singoff, the discounts, and the photo spots, it's a full weekend of rivalry festivities running from Friday, October 9 through Sunday, October 11 at Galleria Dallas.
