We can’t remember the last time the weather was this nice in August. We have some ideas of ways to help you make the most of it before Summer, Round 2, strikes back.
Two Durhams Beer Festival at Durham Central Park
Durham is partnering with British sister city of the same name to celebrate our primary shared interest—beer—with a festival of ales, lagers, and stouts from four local Durham, NC breweries and four Durham, UK breweries. The average Brit consumes about twice as much beer as the average American each year, so make sure you do our twin flame proud and drink up!
The festival is today from 4 to 7 p.m.; admission is free and open to the public.
Summer Celebration at Artspace
Head over to Artspace this Saturday to admire artwork created by the non-profit’s summer campers, enjoy a musical performance by Kidznotes, and get crafty with odds and ends from the Scrap Exchange.
The event is on Saturday, August 20 from noon to 3 p.m.; admission is free and open to the public.
