Want to race some of the best athletes in the world this weekend? Ok, you probably can’t race them, but you can watch them race at the Tyson Invitation at the Randal Tyson Track Center this weekend. Here’s more info about that.

How about some baseball? The Diamond Hogs kick off their 2020 season with a series versus Eastern Illinois on Friday afternoon. Game time has moved up to 2 p.m. due to the fact that it’s going to get real cold this evening. Bundle up.

There’s a big Broadway show at Walton Arts Center this weekend. It’s called Once on This Island, and we’ve heard great things about it. Here’s what our reviewer Kevin Kinder had to say about the show.

There’s an Elton John tribute at George’s Saturday night. Sounds like a sing-a-long to us.

Also in Tunes, Smoke & Barrel has Joplin-based band, The Travel Guide on Saturday night.

Of course, it’s Valentine’s Day, and there are some special dinners below to check out with your person, if you want.

There’s plenty more below.

How about some Razorback basketball? The Hogs will be in action at Bud Walton Arena on Saturday, as they take on Mississippi State at noon. Hogs need a win. Here’s more about the matchup.

There’s a Tenacious D Tribute at George’s on Saturday night, as local fun band Goose plays some of their hilarious hits. Witchsister is also on the bill, so that’s pretty awesome.

There’s a hiphop show at Axis Lounge with D Sewell, Swank $anchez, Young Jäger and Drewcidleamer.

Also, there are chances to see Once on This Island at Walton Arts Center, and if you haven’t seen TheatreSquared’s The Royale, this is your last weekend to check that out.

Music-wise, there’s a good show in Springdale with locals Brother Moses, who are in town for the weekend for a show with The Pressure Kids at The Apollo on Emma.

There’s plenty more below. Have fun, y’all.
