It's time for some Weekend Fun with 41!

FARE, 15 and the Mahomies back-to-school event

On Saturday, the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation is teaming up with FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) to host a back-to-school event for families who may have children with food allergies.

There will be activities for the kids, health resources, a lunch demonstration and a panel where families can ask questions.

It's a free event from 1–4 p.m. at the KC Public Library Plaza Branch. You can register here.

Summer Fest

Zona Rosa is hosting Summer Fest on Saturday.

There will be carnival-style games, a DJ dance party, food trucks, shopping and entertainment for all ages.

This free event is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Lawn Party

On Sunday, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is teaming up with KC Parks and Recreation to host a massive Lawn Party on the museum’s south lawn.

Fill up on local food trucks and enjoy lawn games and activities.

It's a free event for everyone to enjoy from 4–8 p.m.

Food Truck Frenzy, Moonlight Bike Ride

Over in Lenexa, there are two events happening on Saturday.

The first is Food Truck Frenzy in Old Town Lenexa!

Feast on a variety of cuisines from area food trucks and enjoy live music by The Suburbans from 5–9 p.m.

Feel free to bring a chair to sit back, relax and enjoy some good food!

After dinner, plan to pedal across town during Lenexa's annual Moonlight Bike Ride.

This is a family-friendly activity... but it starts late. From 10 p.m. to midnight, enjoy an 11-mile, closed-course bike ride from Old Town Lenexa through the Meritex caves.

Decorate your bicycle in lights for this fun family ride!

It's $40 for adults and $30 for children under 13. Participants must ride a two- or three-wheeled bicycle to participate. Class 1 e-bikes are also permitted.

You can register here.

That's a look at your weekend fun! Be safe!
