After that, you could check out some talented students from the School of Rock at the Fayetteville Public Library at around 10:30 a.m.

Saturday night, there’s a Beatles Tribute in the woods outside of Crystal Bridges. It’s part of their Forest Concert Series, and the setting out there is really cool.
