Summer is in full swing, and while weather has been inconsistent this week (what else is new), that’s not stopping a diverse range of hoppin’ venues from hosting fantastic comedians, great musicians, colorful parades, and most excellent beer tastings. If standup by Michael Ian Black, jazz by Walter Beasley, the World Beer Festival, and Parade the Circle sound like your thing, get out and have some fun this weekend.
