Two words for this weekend: Mistletoe Marketplace. If you haven't even begun to think about the upcoming holidays, this annual event presented by the Jackson Junior League will get you so psyched for everything Christmas that you just might sit on Santa's lap this year. It's happening at the Mississippi Trademart and closes at 7 p.m. Saturday. For more information, see the JFP Best Bets page.
To guarantee that a late Friday night slowly blurs into an early Saturday morning, listen and dance as DJ I.E. and DJ Unpredictable spin at Schimmel's for First Friday, or join Juvenile as he graces the stage at Touch Nightclub. For more music to get your weekend off to a great start, see the JFP Music Listings.
