October is an interesting month both historically and festively. Overall it’s a really great month and last week was only the start of some amazing events that the city and it’s residents have in store for you. This week is a little more condensed and of course, more lax for those of you who are still burnt out from a very JCAST weekend. Flamenco in the park? We’ve got it. Yoga, Rock music, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show? Covered.
Can’t find any events you’re interested in? Our Event Calendar has nearly forty events this weekend so if you’re looking for something more festive, check there!
