Friends and neighbors,
There’s a lot happening this weekend! Live music, tasting events (craft beers and coffee, or tropical fruits), and a silent disco to dance your heart out for only $10. I hope something here inspires you to get out of the house and enjoy what makes this place feel alive.
I also included a couple of ticketed ideas for the Fourth of July next weekend, in case you’re still figuring out your plans. If one catches your eye, don’t wait to book.
As always, thank you for reading. I appreciate every bit of feedback as we work out the best way to bring local happenings to you!
Happy Thursday,
P. S. Live Fest tickets go on sale tomorrow. This annual music festival will sell out, so be sure to get your tickets early.
