5 Fantastic Things to Watch This Weekend Presented by State Farm®

By Courtney Potter

While there isn’t exactly a theme to this weekend’s cavalcade of imminently watchable content from around the worlds of Disney, there do happen to be two—count ’em, two—music festivals to delight the senses… one coming to you live from Las Vegas, and the other from Central Park in that grand dame of a metropolis, New York City. Amongst all the incredible tunes (and, in the case of the Global Citizen Festival, fighting the good fight against extreme poverty worldwide), do make note of these other episodes and specials as well…

There is a chess set sitting on the table. Nick is wearing a burgundy turtleneck sweater and a beanie. Maria is wearing a dark blue V-neck shirt, and is holding a mug in one hand.

 Pupstruction—Friday, September 22, at 8 a.m. ET/PT on Disney Channel and 11:40 a.m. ET/PT on Disney Junior
The episode’s two stories include: “Amusement Park-ing,” in which Pupstruction builds a parking lot for Petsburg Pier’s Canine Coaster; and “The Dino-Dog Dig,” where the team unearths a dinosaur skeleton and displays it for the citizens of Petsburg. (Honestly, if you can’t appreciate a group of adorable dogs working together to build amazing things for their fellow townspeople, there’s not much we can do for you…)

In a promotional image for the 2023 Global Citizen Festival, the popular K-pop group Stray Kids is seen, posed in a living room-like set. Several of the members are sitting on a couch, with a stuffed lion lying across their laps. The rest of the members are standing behind the couch. All are wearing colorful clothing. There is a coffee table in front of the couch, with several cups and a thermos, and a vase of flowers.
