Maserati Mingle

This year’s Maserati Mingle, a preview event to July’s Keeneland Concours d’Elegance, will come with something extra. Browse vintage cars from Maserati, Ferrari and Porsche, and local classic cars from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Friday at the Courthouse Square, 120 North Limestone, while enjoying food and beverage. It’s free. After that, there will be an after-party at 21c Museum Hotel, 167 West Main Street. Admission to the party is $75. Go to Keeenelandconcours.com for information.

Francisco’s Farm Arts Festival

Art will be the main attraction, but there will be plenty of food, entertainment and activities for all at the annual Francisco’s Farm Arts Festival at Midway University, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. The event boasts 92 juried artists from 16 states, including potters, painters, jewelry makers, woodworkers and photographers at the campus, 512 East Stephens Street in Midway. It’s free, but there is a $5 parking fee. Go to Franciscosfarm.org.

Family Fun Ride

Bike Lexington’s annual Family Fun Ride takes off at 10 a.m. Saturday from the Robert F. Stephens Courthouse Plaza, 120 North Limestone. It’s an eight-mile ride — not race, organizers emphasize — and police will provide rolling street closings to keep the route safe. The event also features a car-free kids zone and a slow-cycle competition, in which the winner is the last person to cross the finish line without allowing your feet to touch the ground.
