Weekend Starts Features Cas Duo
The second season of the free outdoor music series Weekend Starts continues from 5-7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 2, with the Cas Duo, featuring local jazz musicians Cas Harvey on saxophone and William Reyes on guitar.
The series runs from 5-7 p.m. every Friday night through mid-October at the Lower Ramble, across West Avenue from the Fayetteville Public Library. Parking is available in the outdoor lot south of the Fayetteville Public Library, between West and School Avenues. The concert location is here. Weekend Starts is a collaboration between the city of Fayetteville, the U of A Department of Music and Mount Sequoyah Creative Spaces.
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.
