This weekend in Fayette County, GA

A community garage sale and vendor market showcases local sellers with a mix of new and secondhand goods. Live performances by area entertainers add to the experience, and families can visit a dedicated kids area for activities. The majority of booths are indoors, providing shelter from the weather and a more comfortable place to browse. Prospective vendors can submit an application to reserve a spot. The fee is $25 per day, indoor spaces are available, and capacity is limited, offering a straightforward way to present products and connect with the community.

A high-energy night of live music takes over the amphitheater with a lineup that moves from soulful tunes to full-throttle rock. The Paradox, The Stews, Hey Dreamer, Pearl Bottom Radio, and Atticus Roness share the stage for an evening built around big sounds and local spirit. Tickets are on sale, with prices increasing on the day of the show. FreshTix is the official ticketing partner, and only tickets purchased through FreshTix or the venue box office are guaranteed. Come ready to eat, with savory bites from Grazing Here and The Mad Greek, sweet treats from Beeze Freeze, and craft beverages served by Johnny’s Pizza. Small coolers and picnic baskets are welcome. Parking is free. Bring blankets or beach-style folding chairs for lawn seating, and leave full-size lawn chairs at home for the best sightlines. The music goes on rain or shine, so consider packing a poncho and skip the umbrella. The venue operates cashless for ticketing. This event is supported by sponsors including QTS Data Center, Brightmoor Healthcare, Hampton Inn, Johnny’s Pizza, and Safebuilt.

Atlanta rock outfit HeyDreamer brings its soulful vocals, gritty grooves, and kinetic live energy to The Ville Amp in Fayetteville for the 99X Locals Luau. Led by singer songwriter and lead guitarist Melody Kiser, with Dustin Williams on bass and David Williams on drums, the trio blends alternative rock with touches of soul, funk, and pop, built on tight harmonies, expressive musicianship, and rhythms that keep crowds moving. Kiser’s commanding voice pairs with bold, melodic guitar work to anchor a set that balances precision and fire. Their catalog includes the debut EP If You’re Out There and the full album Dances in Wonderland, with a new 13 chapter concept record, Celebrated Destruction of Paradise, on the way and already introduced through a series of singles supported by a Kickstarter that raised over $30,000 for recordings, visuals, and a broad rollout. Highlights from recent years include features on 99X, a spot at 99X’s Big Day Out, a performance aboard the Melissa Etheridge Cruise, and an appearance on PBS’s Peach Jam. They also created Newnan Porchfest, a community music event that drew more than 10,000 people in its first year, and are currently under a production deal with Real People Music and Real 2 Reel Studios, the Georgia studio and production company led by CMA artist Brian Collins and Will Turpin of Collective Soul.

An open mic at Anthony’s Pizzeria features soulful tunes and lively melodies with host Megan Strom. Musicians at any level are welcome to perform, and listeners can relax and enjoy live music. Pizza and other dishes are available while the music plays. Megan, a local artist known for engaging performances and a diverse repertoire, keeps the vibe welcoming. Those interested in performing can connect with her to get on the lineup, and the setting suits friends, family, and fellow music lovers.
