Weekend Agenda

Events to check out this weekend, September 26–28.


Dustin Diamond with Samira Clark as Lisa Turtle, April Kidwell as Jessie Spano, and Katie Mebane as Kelly Kapowski in Bayside! The Musical!  

1.The weather will be just right for some breezy concerts outside. On Friday catch Broken Bells in Central Park, the fancy Iggy Azalea at Pier 97, and Jay Z with No Doubt at the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park.

2. Or stay indoors at BAM, when Laurie Anderson teams up with the Kronos Quartet for "Landfall," through September 27. On Saturday and Sunday, Led Zeppelin alum Robert Plant performs with his band, the Sensational Spacee Shifters. What shape will you take?

3. The New York Film Festival promises two weeks of unmitigated silver-screen bliss. Here are our picks of what to check out.

4. While David Alan Grier gets loose, maybe even zany, with Thursday through Saturday dates at Carolines.

5. Feeling nostalgic? The bawdy and hilarious Bayside! The Musical! follows your favorite Saved by the Bell characters in the campiest way possible, with a notable cameo by Screech himself, Dustin Diamond. (Diamond will also be a guest on Running Late With Scott Rogowsky next Tuesday, September 30 at Littlefield.)

6. Or check out the free "40 Years of Blondie" photography exhibit, open daily through Monday and featuring rare, behind-the-scenes photos.

7. The New York Burlesque Festival sprinkles the city with glitter all weekend long at various venues.

8.Art lovers have a few reasons to celebrate, with the NY Art Book Fair at P.S.1, the DUMBO Arts Festival, featuring open studios and art projects around every corner, and the Affordable Art Fair, where you can pick up something new to love. Happy weekend!
