Saturday: Jazba 2019
Never been to Jazba before? You’re missing out. The sounds of Bollywood mixed and chopped with hip-hop, all with outrageously skilled dancers … it’s a sight to behold. With college students coming from across the nation, this event will have your bones rattling with excitement and bass. Each team is required to incorporate a skit into their performance, making it even more enjoyable. The skits range from sad to funny, hyped to refined. Don’t miss this.
Where: Northrop Auditorium, 84 Church St. SE., Minneapolis
When: 6 to 9 p.m.
Cost: $5 for students
Sunday: The Oscars
If not for the films, show up for the outfits. This Sunday, the Academy Awards will go hostless for the first time since 1989, a show considered very, very bad. Maybe this time it will actually be the best? Fill out your ballots (“A Star is Born” or “The Favourite”?) and cozy up for some red-carpet homages to the late Karl Lagerfeld. It’s the Oscars!
Where: At home
When: 7 p.m.
Cost: Free
