Taking over four blocks of Fifth Street from Friday through Monday, the festival promises its biggest celebration yet, packed with live entertainment and a lineup of vendors you won’t want to miss. Bring your appetite and get ready to experience the flavors that make our region so special.
Theater lovers, this one’s for you. Jane Austen’s beloved novel “Emma” comes to life on stage at The Otto M. Budig Theater beginning tomorrow night, with performances running through June 14. Kate Hamill’s witty and unexpected adaptation follows the headstrong Emma Woodhouse as she attempts to orchestrate romance for everyone around her — all while insisting she’ll never fall in love herself. Filled with humor, charm, and heart, this lively take on the classic story breathes fresh energy into Austen’s world. Don’t miss this clever celebration of friendship, love, and matchmaking gone wonderfully wrong. Buy your tickets today!
Horror fans, unite! It may not be spooky season yet, but Shamala Hamala is giving you a reason to embrace the eerie vibes anyway. On Saturday at 7 p.m., the studio will host a film screening of the 1963 cult horror film “The Terror.” Grab your tickets before they disappear into the darkness.
Liven up your Tuesday night with Latin Dance Night at 10th Island Tiki Bar. From 7:30 to 10 p.m., guests can kick things off with a beginner-friendly dance lesson before the floor opens for social dancing. Park at the Ziegler Park Garage and receive free parking validation from your bartender. While you’re there, be sure to explore 10th Island’s tropical food and drink menu to keep the energy going all evening long.
