As the blonde girl from the 1982 film Poltergeist once said, “They’re here.”

It’s Bikes, Blues & BBQ week, and that means thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts will descend upon Fayetteville over the next few days. The rally kind of takes over, to be honest, so most of the events on the calendar are at least related to it in some way.

It all kicks off early Friday morning, where a new event called Ink & Art in the Ozarks will take place at the Fayetteville Town Center. It will include tattoo exhibitions, sideshow performances, and more. Here’s more info.

Main stage performances at Bikes, Blues & BBQ on Friday include The Nace Brothers, Goose, and Jason D. Williams.

Also Friday night, legendary classic rock act Lynyrd Skynyrd will perform at the Walmart AMP.

There’s plenty more below.
