The Fayetteville Farmers’ Market on the square will be wrapping up pretty soon, so better get down there and enjoy it while you can.
Arkansas’ football team will take on Tulsa for Homecoming this year at Razorback Stadium. Everyone’s going to be chanting the name “Kelly Bryant” at some point during the game. Just go with it. The game starts at 11 a.m.
Music-wise, there’s a sold out show at George’s Saturday night with Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
Up in Bentonville, the Leon Bridges/Nathaniel Rateliff show we mentioned earlier this month is happening in the Buckeyball Field across from the Amazeum. It’s sold out, though, so hopefully you already reserved your tickets.
There’s lots of unique stuff on the list this week too, including a Burlesque benefit show at Nomad’s, a Halloween-themed roller derby match at Starlight Skatium, a slow roll bike ride at TriCycle Farms, and tons more. Click around down there for details.
