This is one of those weekends in Fayetteville where there are so many awesome things happening, it is simply impossible to choose what to do. We’ve revamped the software that powers our calendar, and many of the below events are clickable with more information, so feel free to poke around if you see something that piques your interest.

On Friday night, for example, you could check out author, actor, and counter-culture icon Peter Coyote at the Fayetteville Public Library.

Or you could head to the AMP to see county star Brantley Gilbert up in Rogers.

Folks have been raving about the show playing at Walton Arts Center this weekend, the Grammy, Tony, and Oscar award winning musical, Once. Here’s more info about that.

There’s also plenty of good music to check out in town, with Carrie Nation & The Speakeasy at The Lightbulb Club, 1 Oz Jig at Smoke & Barrel, Boom Kinetic at George’s, and Paper Jam at Kingfish.

There’s a huge show at George’s Majestic Lounge on Sunday night, with locals Isayah’s All-Stars, Earl Cate, Cutty Rye, Last True Heathens, T-Chicken and 1oz Jig all coming together in support of Dianne Read. The event, called Stand with Dianne, is a benefit to help raise funds to pay for a new prosthetic leg for Dianne. Because Fayetteville is awesome, and we lift each other up when we’re down.
