Who says weekdays can’t bring the wow? This week, North Texas is serving up a mix of musical throwbacks, museum moments and more than one egg hunt with a side of spring cheer.

And with sunshine holding steady (for now), there’s no excuse not to get out and play, so go ahead — fill that calendar like it’s your favorite Easter basket.
