HARVESTFEST
11 a.m., Kavanaugh between Spruce and Walnut. Free.
This weekend kicks off perhaps the biggest five-day run of concerts Central Arkansas has ever seen (get the lowdown from the To-Do List on the following page), but for cheap, low-key good times, HarvestFest in Hillcrest, returning for the 15th year on Saturday, is tough to beat.
For one, it’s family friendly. Strollers are almost de rigueur. Dogs, too. Kids sit affably at the foot of the entertainment stage when they’re not streaking through the crowds on skateboards and those shoes with wheels in heel. This year, in addition to all sorts of Kids Zone activities — a bounce room, pumpkin painting, pet rock-making (!), bean bag tossing — they’ll get a chance to pimp their trikes or bikes and compete in the “Hot Wheels in Hillcrest” contest along with actual classic cars and street rods.
