A direct sequel to the 2012 film ‘Skyfall,’ this action-packed motion picture is one of the best being featured in UPB’s Spring Film Series — absolutely free. After uncovering a secret message from an ominous organization called SPECTRE, the iconic 007 discovers more information than he had hoped for. Featuring music from Grammy-winner Sam Smith, the 24th Eon Produced James Bond film is the one you don’t want to miss. With showings at 6 p.m., 9 p.m. and midnight Friday at Meacham Auditorium (and a Saturday matinee at 4 p.m. for those of you who aren’t night owls), there’s no excuse to skip out on "Spectre."

The 22nd annual Norman Mardi Gras Parade is the most happening place to be this weekend. The colorful celebration will bring N'awlins right to Norman with its "Mardi Gras Mambo" theme. Starting downtown from Jones Avenue at Main Street, the parade will feature an official royalty of activists Stacey Wright and Danielle Brown (founders of #YESALLDAUGHTERS), the Fatimah Middle Eastern Dancers Krewe and food trucks to fill your stomach with gumbo, donuts, hot chocolate and more. Be sure to clear your schedule and get there early (7-8ish is the starting time) so you can spend Saturday night dancing in the streets!
