Weekend Flyer: July 31-Aug. 2, 2015

Friday events, July 31, 2015

Get out your hula skirt, and get ready to shimmy, Fayetteville. The first ever (as far as we can remember) public luau in the streets of Fayetteville is happening on Center Street Friday night. It’s a grand opening celebration for Hawaiian Brian’s, and there will be entertainment inside and on the street including hula dancers, fire dancers, and more.

There’s huge show at The Lightbulb Club Friday night as well, with Mississippi-based band, Water Liars, along with locals Lo-Res and Ryan Pickop. Pickop, who’s opening the show, is playing with a new band. It’s the second show of a 10-show run for Water Liars, who also just finished a new album. It’s gonna be crowded.

Also in music, George’s annual Jerry Garcia Birthday Bash is scheduled for Friday night as well. Dallas-based Grateful Dead tribute band Forgotten Space will perform. Tickets are $12.
