Better put your galoshes and your ponchos on, everyone.

Who wants to hear some tunes this weekend? George’s has several shows, including the return of the Nace Brothers for happy hour, followed by the Goose farewell tour later on Friday night, and Boston Mountain Playboys paying tribute to Howard Lester on Saturday night. Get tickets here.

Mount Sequoyah also has some music planned this weekend weather permitting. Friday night, they’ll host The Cocktail Club for a show from the gazebo in their cottage circle, and local musician Randall Shreve will perform the same stage on Sunday. Here’s ticket info.

It’s the last week of the Murder for Two streaming run at TheatreSquared. They’re planning a return to limited in-person shows (plus streaming) next week. Here’s more about that.

Saturdays in Fayetteville are for the Farmers’ Market. Always.

Remember the Fayetteville Jazz Festival we wrote about recently? It’s happening this weekend, with performances by Alexa Tarantino, Rodney Block, Carmen Bruner, and Jeremy Thomas, along with featured guest artists such as saxophonist Alexa Tarantino (Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Cecile McLorin Salvant Quintet, Sherrie Maricle & the DIVA Jazz Orchestra), trumpet player Rodney Block (Kirk Whalum, Ellis Marsalis, Doug E. Fresh), vocalist Carmen Bruner, and organist Jeremy Thomas (Joey Defrancesco, Arturo Sandoval, David Sanborn), and others. There are in person shows and streaming opportunities. Here’s more about that.

The Scott Family Amazeum will host their popular UnGala fun-raiser (get it) on Saturday, which is really an excuse to go be a kid at the museum and play and raise money for the organization. Here’s more about that.

The Botanical Garden of the Ozarks will host an Earth Day Festival on Sunday at 1 p.m. Details are here.

How about a movie? The Walton Arts Center will host a film screening of the well-loved a cappella film Pitch Perfect on Saturday. It’s part of their Voice Jam event this year. Tickets.
