If you are on the borderline of naughty and nice for 2023, this is basically your last weekend to try and get right unless you want to end up on the wrong side of the lump of coal lottery. We’re actually not sure when the cutoff is. It could be too late, we guess, in which case, you might as well get as weird as you want.
Despite the fact that old Santa is probably already loading up his sleigh for the holiday on Monday, there’s still quite a bit happening this weekend in Fayetteville.
A few local legends are performing in town this weekend. The Cate Brothers turn 81 years old on Dec. 26, and like they often do, they’re performing a show at George’s during happy hour to celebrate their b-days on Friday night.
Longtime local performer Jed Clampit is also performing in town this weekend, with a show scheduled at JJ’s Dickson on Friday night.
Also in tunes, local Grateful Dead and Taking Heads tribute (just trust us) The Grateful Talking Deadheads will perform a two-night stand at George’s on Friday and Saturday night this weekend.
If you feel like moving your backside, a good chance to do that is happening at West & Watson when local DJs Sickboy, Cudcareless, and Of Faces are set to perform on Friday night.
It’s the final car-free Friday of the year on the square during Lights of the Ozarks on Friday night. Tonight’s festivities include performances by Ashtyn Barbaree, Elite Dance Group, and Leyton Robinson, along with a group of local Christmas carolers.
There’s a daytime performance on Saturday at Ozark Natural Foods featuring locals, Dead Horse Mountain Band. Music starts at 1 p.m.
How about a show? It’s the last weekend to check out TheatreSquared’s holiday show, A Christmas Carol. The show ends its run on Christmas Eve.
There’s more below. Have a great weekend, everyone.
