Novel, Shatto Milk, Local Pig and KC Canning Co. will be among the restaurants and food purveyors on hand as part of the festival.

The Waffle Bar (4745 Central St.) — a pop-up waffle novelty shop — has opened on the Plaza. You can get an icing drizzled waffle on a stick or a ice cream with toppings (think fruit pebbles or chocolate syrup) inside of a warm waffle. That waffle ice cream creation is served in a paper cone — think of it like the dessert version of walking tacos.

Feel like the world is going to end? You don’t have to face it alone. The End of the World Pub Crawl is in Martini Corner from1 to 5 p.m. this Saturday. Dodge zombies on your way through the pub crawl.

Keep your food truck love affair going from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday at the Funday Sunday & Apple Fest in the Merriam Marketplace (5740 Merriam Drive, Merriam, Kansas). There are apple-themed crafts and snacks, as well as food trucks: CoffeeCake KC and Taste of Brazil alongside The Waffler.
