Pink Pony Club: Chappell Roan Night
Growlers
Friday, November 8, 10 p.m.
I’m having wicked dreams of leaving Tennessee … for no particular reason … nothing big happened this week. Nope. I’m just singing Chappell Roan. I’m gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club, which is apparently Growlers this weekend, where boys and girls can all be queens every single day. The DJs will be spinning vibrant, eclectic dance hits all night long. Tickets ($15-$25) can be purchased here. 18+. (Also, something must be in the water at Growlers because they’re having a Shrek Rave on Saturday, so there’s that.)

Pipkin Building
Saturday, November 9, 9:30 a.m.-7 p.m. | Sunday, November 10, 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m.

Tickets are $25/Saturday pass, $20/Sunday pass, $40/weekend pass, $40/weekend pass, and $100/VIP Weekend Pass.
Memphis Crafts & Drafts Holiday Market 2024
Crosstown Concourse
Saturday, November 9, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
This festival crafted the perfect experience; no, this isn’t a rough draft. Crafts & Drafts showcases more than 85 local artists and makers for you to shop from for all your holiday gifting needs. This year it’s going to be inside ’cause of the weather — that means three floors of the best local artmakers. Not to mention cold tasty draft beers, Santa, and live music. (And if you’re really ready to shop till you drop, check out the Blue Suede Vintage Market across the street, where you can shop from 20-plus vintage vendors from across the MidSouth.) (And another parenthetical, Alex Paulus will be hosting an Artist Trading Cards event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Crosstown Arts galleries, so check that out while you’re at the Concourse, too.)
Artist Market
Metal Museum
Saturday, November 9, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
We’re not the only artist market in town this weekend. The Metal Museum is hosting one, too, with a selection of art, jewelry, home decor, and more.

Brass Note for Tina Turner
Alfred’s on Beale
Saturday, November 9, 3 p.m.
What’s love got to do with it? Everything if you’re talking about love for Tina Turner, who’s getting a Brass Note on Beale this weekend.
