Saturday, July 14

Saturdays in Fayetteville start at the Farmers’ Market on the square.

After that, you could check out some talented students from the School of Rock at the Fayetteville Public Library at around 10:30 a.m.

Saturday night, there’s a Beatles Tribute in the woods outside of Crystal Bridges. It’s part of their Forest Concert Series, and the setting out there is really cool.

In Fayetteville, you could check out The Austin Lounge Lizards in the old Ozark Mountain Smokehouse out on MLK Jr. Boulevard (also known as the Fayettechill warehouse building). They’ve got a pretty cool setup for shows out there.

Also Saturday night, composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and DJ David Starfire will perform at George’s. Tickets are $15 on George’s ticketing site.
