Now you have plans for the weekend

You need plans. Fat City has a recycle bin full of listings. In this post, all our problems are solved.

The 4th Annual KC BeerFest

is set for Saturday in Westport. Between 1 and 5 p.m., you’ll

find 200 craft and micro brews to sample, including Great Divide, Free

State and Dieu Du Ciel. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the event.

If you’re avoiding ribs from Burger King, I don’t blame you. Find quality ribs, chicken and brisket at the Great American Barbecue Festival this weekend. This is the sixth year for the event at the Sandstone Amphitheater in Bonner Springs. The festival is from 3 to 11 p.m. today and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. A single-day pass is $10, a two-day pass is $15.

Don’t miss the party when live music and vendors fill the 3100 block of Troost from noon to 10 p.m. for Saturday’s Sixth Annual Troost Festival. Bonus: It’s supposed to be 80 degrees and sunny.
