Miss Riot Room and four more events to witness this weekend.

1. HIt the Crossroads. That’s right — it’s First Friday again, so walk around in the heat and look at some art.

2. Put on some ruby slippers. Not those ruby slippers, but the bold ballet footwear that inspired the title of the super-influential film The Red Shoes, re-mastered and showing at the Tivoli for one week only.

3. Put your dog in a pageant. The many things happening at Saturday’s Independence Animal Fair include contests for the ugliest and prettiest dog.
