Did you hear there’s a new restaurant opening at the Boardwalk next week? We’ve got BTS details straight from the Chef-Owner. Meanwhile, you need to vote (again) this Saturday to decide the run-off for City Council, and it’s time to start planning how you’ll roll out the red carpet for dear ol’ dad this Father’s Day.

But first, we’ve rounded up some fun events that are happening this weekend! Let’s get to it!

Frisco Rumor Mill

The latest whispers and speculations about exciting local developments, from potential new biz openings to upcoming community projects and events everyone is talking about. If you have scoop, please send our editor a note!

• Grab your visor and your loudest golf clap, because the CJ Cup Byron Nelson is sticking around McKinney through 2030 — and it’s not just about birdies and bogeys. It’s a full-on celebration of golf, community, and Texas pride. Hosted at the TPC Craig Ranch, this PGA TOUR stop brings world-class talent (hello, Scottie Scheffler!) and serious charitable chops, having raised over $190 million for kids’ mental health.

• In other golf news, the 70th edition of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be a significant one, as it marks the first women’s major to be played at Frisco’s Fields Ranch East course, with many more to come.

• In non-golf news, the Rail District space formerly known as Lotties will become Dad Jokes Cheesyburger by summer’s end.

• The Omni PGA Frisco has gone full island mode with its Tiki Social pop-up—a poolside paradise serving up tropical cocktails crafted by tiki legend Jeff “Beachbum” Berry. From coconut-rimmed concoctions to bold, beachy vibes, this limited-time escape runs through Labor Day and is open to both hotel guests and locals with day passes.

• Okay, the former Exide Battery Recycling Center — if you KNOW you KNOW, this has been a sticky situation for years. This week, Texas State Representative and Frisco resident Jared Patterson has secured funding for the City of Frisco for its ongoing efforts to remediate the site. Once the cleanup is complete, it should help push forward the development of Grand Park, the 1,011-acre crown jewel of North Texas public parks spanning from Dallas North Tollway west to Lake Lewisville and FM 423.
