After three months—which may have seemed long or short, depending on whether you’re a student or parent—the school year has started once again.
While that means busier roads, longer wait times at restaurants and less parking downtown, it also means more fun events.
Here are a few things happening this weekend:
Food Truck Friday: 5-9 p.m. Friday, Downtown Opelika, N. Railroad Avenue. Free. A variety of local food trucks and pop-up shops offering their take on classic dishes.
Auburn Cars and Coffee: 8-10 a.m. Saturday, Auburn Mall, 1627 Opelika Road, Auburn. Free. Gather with the community at this family-friendly event and show off your car, truck, SUV or motorcycle.
