Did you know you can find beaches of sand in Dallas (for once) this Super Bowl weekend? If you already packed away your board-shorts and flip-flops for the winter, go find them. The 5th annual Celebrity Beach Bowl will take place in Victory Park, where a football field made of “one million pounds of sand” will host a celebrity flag-football game. NFL quarterbacks Eli Manning and Mark Sanchez attended last year’s game, which featured a mix of other NFL players, former and current, as well as many celebrities. This year promises a similar line-up of famous faces, and the game will be broadcast live DirecTV’s 101 Network. Those that stick around after the game can watch Maroon 5 perform on the urban beach. The Beach Bowl Bash starts with pre-game coverage at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, with the concert scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Admission is free, which is not something you’ll hear too often this weekend.

Will you step up to support Dallas Observer this year?
At the Dallas Observer, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of the Dallas Observer, now’s the time to give back.
