The Granada Theater must have been quite the spectacle when it first opened in the Dallas market on January 16, 1946, with the screening of "Mildred Pierce." Even today, it continues to impress with its stunning exterior adorned with neon lights that evoke the glitz and glamor of Hollywood's Golden Era. You'll find plenty of art deco designs inside and out, with rounded corners and linear accents that harken back to a bygone era. You will want to attend the main hall's original art murals, designed by the same artists behind Los Angeles's famed Grauman's Chinese Theater. These grand-scale murals depict various film genres, while the ceiling features a stunning mythological "film goddess" standing over a film reel. It's truly a sight to behold.

If you're looking for a fun and exciting event to attend, you'll want to mark your calendars for GrapeFest. This annual festival is packed with a variety of events and activities, from wine tastings to family-friendly fun. While wine is certainly a major focus of GrapeFest, the festival takes pride in celebrating Texas wine specifically. The People's Choice Wine Tasting Classic, one of the festival's biggest events, is the largest consumer-judged wine competition in the nation and exclusively features Texas wines. With so much to see and do, GrapeFest is a must-attend event for wine lovers and families.

Visit the Mary Kay Museum, the fascinating place that honors the life and legacy of Mary Kay Ash, one of America's most successful businesswomen. You can tour the lobby and the office Mary Kay uses, located on the 13th floor. Interestingly, 13 was Mary Kay's lucky number; she founded the company on Friday, the 13th. The museum is an excellent opportunity to learn about Mary Kay's innovative business ideas and accomplishments. You can even catch a motivational speech by Mary Kay Ash in the theater. The Keepers of the Dream Independent National Sales Director Hall of Honor is also a must-see, as it pays tribute to the top achievers in the independent sales force who continue to spread Mary Kay's dream around the globe.
