The last farmers’ market of the year that’s not on the Fayetteville square is happening Saturday morning at Ozark Natural Foods. Next week, it’ll be back outdoors on the square for the first time this season.

Do you like famous comedians/late night talk show hosts? There’s a big one set to perform at Walton Arts Center Saturday night, with former Tonight Show host Jay Leno in town for a show. Here’s ticket info.

It’s the last Saturday of the month, and that means time for a variety show at American Legion. This month’s show will feature performances by Strange Heroes, Jeff Alvine, and Jurnie Jonae.

Also in music, there’s a three band bill at Nomad’s with Mindless Souls, Makin Loaf, and Drawing Blanks, and Smoke & Barrel has Vanimal Kingdom and Block St. Hot Club.
