Hope y’all are staying hydrated and wearing your sunscreen.

It’s Friday, and that means there’s a happy hour show at George’s after work. This week, locals Jeff Horton Band will do the honors. Later on Friday, there’s a bluegrass show with Hillbenders and Eureka Strings. On Saturday night, local promoter D. Sewell will host a celebration of R&B and Hip Hop at the venue, and on Sunday, George’s will host a rock show with Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Attack Attack, Kingdom Collapse and Astoria State.

It’s probably the best weekend of the year for wine lovers in Fayetteville. Walton Arts Center will host the annual Art of Wine festival, featuring the Uncorked tasting event on Friday night. Proceeds from the event benefit the center’s educational programming. Learn more here.
