It’s gonna be a hot one at the Farmers’ Market on Saturday. Better get one of those mister fans.

The biggest kid party of the year is happening at Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. Of course, we’re talking about the annual Firefly Fling, taking place from around 6 p.m. until after dark at the gardens. There’s music, food trucks, and plenty of hands-on activities for kids to do at the event. Here’s more info.

There’s a big pop show at the AMP with former One Direction vocalist Niall Horan Saturday night.

Also in Benton County, Crystal Bridges’ Forest Concert Series continues with excellent Little Rock band, Amasa Hines among the trees on the museum grounds. Here’s ticket info.

There’s a big show at George’s as well, with the return of Missouri-based folk/bluegrass band, Big Smith. Read Flyer writer Kevin Kinder’s interview with the band here.
