Dallas International Film Festival Family Day at NorthPark Center This Weekend
This Saturday, April 14, is Family Day at NorthPark Center! The all day event is sponsored by the Dallas International Film Festival (DIFF) and will feature screenings of several family friendly films from around the world. But that’s not all the fun to be had; there will be musicians, artists, performers, arts and crafts projects, a bounce house, a face painter and more!
