As Friday approaches, you might find yourself in need of plans — and though it may not seem like it, there’s a lot more to Gainesville than just Gator football.

If "Netflix and chill" just isn’t the same with your roommate gone — or your significant other back home for the weekend — then I have a fix for you. Here’s what’s going on in Gainesville this weekend.

High Dive

210 SW Second Ave.

Apparently, the band’s manager said it was too late for Los Angeles band FIDLAR to give us a phone interview, but "F--- It Dog, Life’s a Risk." That’s what their name stands for.

Maybe this week’s Jimmy Kimmel appearance tied them up too much, said Pat Lavery, exclusive promoter for High Dive.

Regardless, you can catch the garage-punk band live on Saturday.

Tickets can be purchased for $17 at the door of for $15 in advance on ticketfly.com.

The haunted corn maze and haunted house open at dusk, and according to the company’s website, you should only "enter if you dare."

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., so if you’re looking for a pre-fiesta before hitting up Midtown, this event is for you.
