Fayetteville is hosting a busy spring break weekend with sold-out music shows featuring Stephen Wilson Jr.—performing at George’s on Friday—and other concerts including a Metallica tribute at JJ’s Live and a funk show at The Momentary.

Other events include a drag bingo on Saturday, a three-band lineup at Waystone Pizza, a Farmers’ Market Spring Fling tune-up, the final run of TheatreSquared’s Twelfth Night, and a Razorback Softball game at Bogle Park.

On April 17 at 6:30 p.m., the Arkansas Cinema Society will show an advance preview of A24’s fantasy epic 'The Legend of Ochi' at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts—this event is part of its Sneaks Series.

State lawmakers are reviewing several energy and environment bills this session, including Senate Bill 466 that would limit wind turbines to 150 feet statewide and a measure to expand tax exemptions for large data centers.

After spring break, lawmakers will use the remaining two and a half weeks of session to propose policies that limit ballot initiatives, reduce government openness, and push for more state control.
