Southlake Daily Briefing

Good morning, Southlake. Here’s a quick look at what’s happening around town this weekend and in the days ahead.

Family & arts: Kids take the stage

A youth production of “The Lion King JR” is running in Southlake this weekend, with shows scheduled through Sunday. The musical brings local students to the stage in a family-friendly performance, giving kids a chance to experience a full-scale show close to home.

For younger artists, the Southlake Public Library is hosting “Repaint the World: Kids Art Workshops” today. The program invites children to experiment with color and creativity in a guided setting, part of the library’s broader February lineup of hands-on learning events.

Dragons on the court tonight

On the sports front, Southlake Carroll’s boys basketball team hits the road tonight to face Keller Central in district play. The matchup is part of a packed slate of games across the Dallas–Fort Worth area and comes as teams jostle for playoff positioning late in the regular season.

Fans planning to attend are encouraged to check game times and any last-minute updates before heading out, as schedules can shift based on district needs and weather.

City milestones and opportunities

The City of Southlake is leaning into its 70th anniversary year with a major sustainability push. The “2,026 Trees in 2026” initiative aims to plant thousands of new trees through a mix of city projects, community volunteer days, and private participation, with more planting events to be announced throughout the year.

Residents interested in public safety careers can also look at the Southlake Police Department’s 2026 summer internship program. The unpaid, eight-week experience offers college students an inside view of communications, patrol, investigations, and more. Applicants have until February 27 to complete the required background check.

As always, the City’s online calendar remains a reliable place to confirm dates for council meetings, board sessions, and library events as Southlake’s busy February schedule continues.
