5 Things to Do in Memphis This Weekend: 11/19 - 11/21

Happy Friday, Memphis! There's a weekend between you and tons of turkey and dressing. Here are five ways to get out and about before you get completely stuffed: 1. 61st Annual Bazaar, Memphis College of Art, Friday, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., free Get started on your holiday shopping early at the annual Memphis College of Art Bazaar. MCA students will be selling their work in the college's main gallery. There's something for everyone - handmade Christmas ornaments, hand-bound books, paintings, drawings, sculptures and decorative arts. Most of the pieces are fairly inexpensive, but they go fast. 2. New Face for an Old Broad, Broad Ave., 3 p.m. Friday - 10 p.m. Saturday, free I Heart Broad Ave. The Broad Ave. arts district is getting a temporary face lift this weekend. The street is being turned into a model urban street. There will be bike lanes, a skate park, live music, a bicycle parade, and plenty of food and beer. Pop-up shops (one of which is peddling happiness) are going to fill empty storefronts. If you want to stop and say hi to me, I'll be DJ-ing at the Happiness shop from 4 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. tomorrow. 3. Graceland Holiday Lighting Ceremony, Graceland, Friday, 6 p.m., free Elvis would be totally proud of the way that Graceland handles the holidays. Their annual light display is nothing short of epic - the outside of the house and lawn are covered in decorations and the inside of the house is completely decorated for Christmas. Graceland is flipping the switch on this year's display tonight at 6 p.m. If you can't make it, it will be streamed live online. 4. Second Annual Beale St. Snuggie Pub Crawl, Beale St., Friday, 6 p.m., $10 You know you own a Snuggie - quit acting ashamed and wear it out tonight for a good cause. The annual Beale St. Snuggie Pub Crawl to raise money and awareness for Amelia's Voice, a charity that helps people with Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis. To participate, you need to be at least 21 years old and wearing a Snuggie. Registration is at 6 p.m. at Kooky Canuck. There are going to be prizes for the winners of Snuggie bingo and the Snazzy Snuggie contest. 5. Memphis Symphony Orchestra Mastworks: Fiesta, Cannon Center, Saturday, 8 p.m., $15 The Memphis Symphony Orchestra is having a masterworks concert full of the sounds of Spain. They'll be playing six selections, including Carmen Suite No.1 and Lopez's Fiesta! Tickets start at $15, which is a bargain for a fantastic concert in one of Memphis' best venues.
