And just like that, it's about to be August! Summer, slow down!

Another much-loved destination is once again turning on the lights of their stage - Quinn's. Starting in September, Quinn's is hosting performances on Saturdays and Monday's. For the month of November, the theme of Monday is Joe, where all performances are done by people named Joe, aka "Joevember." Get the details here!

Lucky you - it's Live Acoustic Night at Meyers Olde Dutch! Starting at 7pm Friday, enjoy local artist Edward Stanton. Meyers has not one, but two outdoor eating options (back patio and parklet) as well as brand new air filtration system.
