The series is free, and concerts are Friday nights through mid-October from 5-7 p.m. at the Lower Ramble, across West Avenue from the Fayetteville Public Library.

Weekend Starts is a collaboration between the City of Fayetteville, the U of A Department of Music and Mount Sequoyah. The schedule for the next month is:

May 24 – Nikola Radan and Friends
May 31 – Manguaré Quartet – Latin Ensemble
June 7 – 106th Army Band

The Ramble is the newest part of the growing Fayetteville arts corridor. There is convenient parking in any of the Fayetteville Public Library's lots. Feel free to bring a picnic, blanket or lawn chairs.  As part of the Lower Ramble, Weekend Starts will be held within Fayetteville's "outdoor refreshment area," allowing participants to stop by participating establishments within the designated zone and pick up their favorite to-go beverages to enjoy during the event. However, participants must adhere to the guidelines set forth by the outdoor refreshment area.

In the event of inclement weather, updates regarding cancellations or rescheduling will be provided on the city website. We encourage attendees to check for updates before heading to the event. For more information, go to Fayetteville Arts and Culture.
