Dar Williams at the Buckman Arts Center, Thursday:

Everyone has a favorite Christmas song, right? Mine is one you probably haven’t heard unless you’re a Dar Williams fan. “The Christians and the Pagans” is a folk song about a Winter Solstice-celebrating lesbian couple who visited their Christian family for a holiday meal and ended up “finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,” as the song goes. It’s a lovely look into the complexities of familial love in a polarized world. Williams is a poet and a storyteller in the contemporary folk tradition, sharing thoughts on religion, adolescence, gender issues, patriarchy, anti-commercialism and more in her artful ballads. 7 p.m. $45. 60 Perkins Extd.

Funds raised will go toward scholarships and funds for visiting clinicians at the school. Begins at 9 a.m. on Nov. 4 and runs through 9 a.m. on Nov. 5.

The Memphis coffee scene has grown exponentially (or should I say “Xponentially”?) over the past few years, having grown from a few specialty coffeehouses designed more around the experience of place rather than quality of coffee to a fourth-wave (or is it fifth now?) of coffee roasters placing the utmost important on sourcing of beans and the science behind the brewing process. At the annual Grind City Coffee Xpo, more than 15 roasters will offer samples and brewing demos. Proceeds from the event will benefit Protect Our Aquifer because good coffee starts with good water. 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. $25 to $35. 398 S. B.B. King Blvd. Click here for more information. — Phillips

This annual festival dedicated to all things Sasquatch will be stomping into Memphis for the last time this Saturday. Organizer Toby Sells (Bigfoot enthusiast and news editor of The Memphis Flyer) is retiring the fest after five years, but he’s going out with a bang (Or a howl? Or a growl? Whatever sound Bigfoot makes.) Attendees can enjoy Memphis Made beer while watching the latest Bigfoot evidence videos, discussing Bigfoot in a town hall-style discussion and testing their Bigfoot knowledge with trivia. There’s even a Bigfoot fashion show, offering the perfect opportunity to get more use out of that old Sasquatch Halloween costume that you held onto just in case you needed to wear it again one day (take that, Marie Kondo). The Late Greats will play bluegrass, and food trucks and other paranormal vendors will be on-site. Listen to Sells talk about last year’s fest on The Sidebar podcast. 3 to 7 p.m. Free. 768 Cooper St. Click here for more information. — Phillips

This annual festival in the Japanese Garden features live performances of taiko drumming and other traditional music, as well as a headlining performance by Kazha (a Memphis-based Japanese rock band). The Kent Family Magic Circus will present a magic show blended with feats of strength and balance (like balancing bowling balls and pins on their chins). Masaji Terasawa, known as the Candyman, is believed to be the only person in the U.S. practicing the ancient Japanese art of amezaiku (sculpting hot taffy into shapes of animals), and he’ll be on-site demonstrating that skill. Plus, there are martial arts demonstrations on the lawn all day. 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. $12 adults, $10 seniors, $7 students and children aged 2 to 12 (kids under 2 get in free). 750 Cherry Rd.
