This could turn out to be a down weekend for a lot of East Texans. For the first time in more than 18 weeks, there is no football. Millions of us watched our final game last weekend with the Chiefs and 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. What's next? Maybe, working on some projects around the house.

Spring festival season will soon be here and there will be lots of activities for all of us to be a part of. Until then there are still some awesome things happening around East Texas that we all can be a part of.

This weekend you can dance, check out new home products, take the kids to the state park, and learn about nature and more.

Here's a look at this weekend's event happening across East Texas.
