May 19

With outdoor concerts, food festivals, farmers markets every weekend, patio season in full swing . . . there's genuinely a lot to look forward to from June through August.

I put together this roundup of summer events happening around the metro so you've got something to actually put on the calendar (and suggest in the group chat).

Tap the links to get more details about each event. And as always, double check details before you go cause things can change before I get a chance to update this list.
