Best of Big D 2026

The deck is stacked with the best of Dallas. Join us Thursday, December 3, for an immersive evening celebrating the people, places, and experiences that make Dallas one of a kind. Inspired by D Magazine’s very first cover in 1974—and 52 years of telling the story of Dallas—this year’s party brings the playing card deck to life in a distinctly Dallas way.
Move through four sophisticated experiences celebrating the best of Food & Dining, Nightlife, Shopping & Services, and Culture & Art, with bites, sips, interactive stations, live entertainment, an art gallery, and more from the 2026 Best of Big D winners. VIP guests will also enjoy a private lounge with poker and blackjack tables, plus early access to the evening’s offerings.
Come discover Dallas’ best. Consider it a winning hand.
