There's not a whole lot going on around town this weekend, but if you're in the mood for, like, a lot of music, you should definitely head over to FMLY FEST.
The festival kicks off at 2 pm today until Monday at 2 am in the Arts District Downtown. There will be a grip of awesome local bands as well as out-of-towners. Check out the line-up here. There's also workshops for zine-making, screen-printing gardening and, um, making friendship bracelets. Biking is encouraged between the different venues, including artshare and the fort.
For more information, hit up FMLY fest's Facebook page. It costs $10 a day or $15 for the whole fest.
