The annual Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival is taking place at Agri Park beginning early on Saturday morning.
Also on Saturday, you can check out some professional and amateur cyclists racing through all kinds of crazy obstacles at FayetteCross pro/am bike racing event on Millsap Mountain where a new bike-focused park is set to be built in the coming years. Here’s more.
Also in sports, the Razorback basketball team will kick off their season with a Red/White game at 3 p.m. Instead of playing in the Bud, the Hogs are having a bit of a throw-back event, and playing in the old Barnhill Arena on campus, paying tribute to the days of Nolan and Eddie. In fact, the teams are divided into Team Nolan, and Team Eddie, and fans are encouraged to dress in their best 80s/90s gear. Here’s more.
Music-wise, there’s a big hip hop show at the AMP. It’s the JMBLYA festival, featuring Juice Wrld, Playboy Carti, Chief Keef, Murda Beets, and others. Here’s more.
Remember the Apple Seeds Inc. Evening at the Farm event we wrote about recently? That’s also on Saturday.
Locals Basement Brew will celebrate the release of their new album on Saturday night at Smoke & Barrel. Jamie Lou has a new project featuring Meredith Kimbrough (Lost John) and Christian Serrano-Torres, and they’ll open the show. Here’s our interview with Lee from Basement Brew from earlier this week.
Up in Bentonville, the Momentary will introduce themselves to the community with an event featuring an art talk, live music, and more from 3-7 p.m. on the facility grounds. Here’s a bit more on that.
On top of all that, Fayetteville Film Fest continues on Saturday, as does NWA Fashion Week who will host an Avant Garde and Couture show on Saturday.
