Best Events in Dallas this Spring

At Fluency Corp, we love providing corporate language training for clients in our home base of Dallas, Texas. But we do more than offer language lessons in Dallas. We also help our clients get to know the city we all call home.

And spring is one of the best times of the year to be in Dallas. If you have just moved from overseas to the Dallas area, the coming weeks will be a great time to get out and explore your new city. The calendar is packed with lots of great spring events in Dallas. So we wanted to share just a few of the highlights.

 

Here’s What to Do in Dallas, Texas This Spring

North Texas Irish Festival
