Ellington

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.

Do something good for your body—and maybe something good for the community—Saturday on one of the walks happening around the city, from Millsap's Chi Omega "Walk for a Wish" to benefit the Make a Wish Foundation at 7:30 a.m. to the Jackson Audubon Society's Family Bird Walk at LeFleur's Bluff at 8 a.m. If you would rather people watch, check out the Miss Mississippi Preliminaries 7 p.m., Madison Square Center for the Arts, and find out just how well voice lessons pay off. Get all the juicy details on the JFP Events Calendar.

Looking for live, local music Saturday night? Head back to the JFP Music Listings to find your favorite bands and DJs. Or take a flyer on finding a new favorite. There are plenty to choose from, from The Electric Co. at McB's to Sherman Lee Dillon at F. Jones Corner, and T-Bird and the Breaks at Ole Tavern. If the play's your thing, don't forget the Millsap's players and "Aria da Capo," 7:30 p.m. at the Millsaps Christian Center Auditorium.
