After the week you’ve had, you could probably use a drink after work. For that, George’s Majestic Lounge has happy hour with the Belaires. Later on, country music star Pat Green will perform in the garden.

The new Fayetteville documentary, Up Among the Hills, will debut at the Fayetteville Public Library’s Light Up the Night Gala. The sold out gala begins at 5 p.m. with a red carpet event on the library plaza, followed by a silent auction at 6:30 p.m., dinner and a live auction at 7 p.m., and the film screening at 8:30 p.m.

If you feel like a string quartet, there’s one at Walton Arts Center Friday night. It’s called Tokyo String Quartet, and it starts at 8 p.m.
