The Fayetteville Farmers’ Market is back. The market will move into a space next door to Ozark Natural Foods for the winter beginning this weekend, and will be open from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. beginning this Saturday.

There’s another holiday show playing at Walton Arts Center on Saturday. There are a handful of chances to see Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Here’s the schedule.

There are several local arts & craft markets happening around Fayetteville this weekend. The largest is probably Wampus Wonderland, which has moved downtown to the Fayetteville Town Center this year, and will feature dozens of local and regional artists and crafters selling their wares. Here’s more info.

Music-wise, Tulsa band Henna Roso is back in town for a show at Smoke & Barrel. Admission is $5. The band also donates 10% of their proceeds to local hunger relief efforts whenever they perform.
