Prepare for quite the cooldown this weekend in the Hill City. But don't worry, just because the temps are taking a dip doesn't mean your opportunities for weekend activities are decreasing. Here's what we've found happening this weekend.
"You, you got what I need..." Bring a friend and go see the one and only Biz Markie as he performs at Riverfront Park on Friday night. It's Week 6 of the Cheers to the Weekend series and the Clown Prince of Hip-Hop will be performing rain or shine. The event gets underway at 7 p.m. So you won't want to miss this '80s throwback with tickets that start at $10.

After enjoying Friday night's performances, why not dabble in the visual arts? OnSaturday morning, it's the Annual Riverfront Chalk Festival & Art Contest! This contest is broken down into three different age groups (6-10, 11-17 and 18+) and is some serious business, as the grand prize for the highest age bracket is $1,000! If you have no artistic bone in your body, you can still head out to Amazement Square and enjoy all the beautiful work. The four-hour event begins at 10 a.m.
Get ready to run (at night) as Race for the Fallen: Glow Run comes to Lynchburg! This is the first time this event is being held in Virginia, and it's a tribute to the officers who have given their lives to protect our community. It starts at 8 p.m., and participants can either do a 1-mile or 5K glow run. Race proceeds benefit the families of fallen law enforcement officers through the Police Benevolent Foundation, so lace up those running shoes and get ready for a fun night!
