Art can be interactive, wearable, beautiful, robotic, silly, and... made of cardboard. Come out to the The Daily City Cardboard Art Festival this weekend and see it all, from the art and its artists to kids camps and dancing. Explore this corrugated dreamworld this weekend, kicking off Friday night with the Opening DJ Dance Party at 7:00pm.

Twenty bands, four venues, two days: it's the NorseKorea 3rd Year Anniversary. Check them out at Backbooth on Friday and Lil Indies, The Social, and Wills Pub on Saturday.

It's manatee season, you guys! As a resident of (or visitor to) Florida, it's your civic duty to stop by Orange City this Saturday and Sunday for the Blue Spring Manatee Festival. While you're there, check out the food, vendors, live music, and more.

Crazy Vinyl Sale at the downtown library this weekend! Thanks for the tip, Orl Weekly!

All you yogis out there, ever wished you were butt-naked while doing downward facing dog? Now's your chance! Check out Nude Yoga at 5:30pm (every Friday) at The Space (above Anthony's Pizza in Mills50). "To enhance the union of the spiritual, emotional and physical plane in a naturalist state using an unmasking ceremony which uses the removal of clothing as a symbol of the removal of the "masks" we place on ourselves to perform our daily duties in society. This yogic practice leaves us to our true form." $20
