If you didn’t get The Breakfast Club theme-song clues above, here’s the deal. Saturday detention for everyone’s favorite nerd, jock, basket case, princess, and criminal was 40 years ago.

Alamo Drafthouse (3220 Town Center Trl, Denton, 940-441-4233) will celebrate the anniversary of this John Hughes-directed cultural touchstone with big-screen viewings today only at 3:30pm and 6:15pm. Tickets are $13.73 at Drafthouse.com/dfw/show/the-breakfast-club-40th-anniversary. If you’re late to the party, you can also stream it on Netflix or Peacock.

Pumpkin Fest is an annual tradition at Martin House Brewing (220 S Sylvania Av, Ste 209, Fort Worth, 817-222-0177). From noon to 5pm, there will be contests, live music, pumpkin beers, and vibing in the backyard. In chronological order, because it’s all awesome, here’s what’s going down. Live music by the Whiskey Boys starts at 1pm, followed by a pumpkin pie-eating contest by the stage at 2pm. Then, at 3 pm, there’s “punkin’ chunkin’” in the grass. There will be photo ops and vendor shopping all day, a food menu by Oh Balls! Food Truck, and 30 beers on tap, including three pumpkin varieties. Entry is free for kids and nondrinkers. If you’d like to enjoy some beers, the $20 wristband gets you a souvenir pint glass and four pours of your choice. Wristbands are available at the front of the taproom and on the patio by the bar.
