Weekend Picks: Fairs Art and Local Events | Lawrence News

This weekend’s packed with local flavor: the Douglas County Fair ends with midnight rides, bale tosses, and demolition derby chaos, plus live music from Delta Haze and The Vincents. Earlier, the Final Friday Art Walk exploded with murals, quilts, and local art at Cider Gallery and the Lawrence Arts Center. Saturday’s Lawrence Farmers Market serves fresh local eats, while “An Evening with LawrEnts” at the library celebrates the city’s trees through photos and stories. Looking ahead: BIPOC Soul offers African dance and drum workshops Sunday, and the Dole Institute dives into military history with a talk on Washington at Long Island. Something for every vibe — fairs, art, food, or learning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
