Sunny and warm conditions are expected this weekend across Southwest Missouri, a perfect time to get outside and attend some of the events happening this weekend. KRPS’s Fred Fletcher-Fierro has more.

Joplin’s historic Murpshyburg is celebrating 150 years since the area was incorporated and residents are holding a street fair with live music, walking tours, miniature train rides, and more. It’s being held tomorrow between 2 and 5 PM in Joplin on South Segerent between 2nd and 5th streets. More info at murphysburg.org.

If you prefer an indoor event, make sure that you spot by the Joplin Public Library now through Sunday, September 26 to view the My Missouri 2021 Photo Project.
