2. "Trolley" Night, South Main businesses, Friday, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m., free, all ages
March's Trolley Night is tonight, and there's a ton of music and art to make up for the lack of actual trolleys.

Main, and more music at E&H, Guiding Point Financial, Rizzo's, and Love Pop Soda Shop. There's also a book signing at the Book Juggler and a cotton candy machine in the ghost lot next to E&H, plus more things at different businesses.

3. Time-Warp Drive-In, Summer Drive-In, Saturday, 7:20 p.m. - ‘til, $10 per person, all ages

4. Disney In Concert, Orpheum Theatre, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., $30 - $130, all ages/kid-friendly
"Disney In Concert: Magical Music from the Movies" is a Memphis Symphony Orchestra performance featuring songs from Disney favorites, clips from the movies, and live singing. This is a worthwhile show for a couple of reasons. First, it's a fun way to introduce kids to both the Orpheum and the Symphony. Second, it's a benefit for the Symphony, which could use a little help right now. Third, if you've never been to classical music concert, this is a good one to try because the video clips and live singing will keep things interesting. Read more here.

5. River Series, Harbor Town Amphitheater, Sunday, doors at 2 p.m., $5, all ages/kid-friendly

Amy LaVere and Will section with Alicja Pop perform this Sunday and proceeds benefit The Maria Montessori School. Note: This was originally on Saturday, but has been moved to Sunday due to weather.
