What did you do with all of that extra sunlight on Tuesday? This is white-wine-drinking, porch-sitting, live music weather — and we are soaking in every minute of it!
Here are five ways to take advantage of these balmy summer evenings…
1. Outdoor Concerts :: because it gives you a great excuse to drink wine out of a travel coffee mug and have it be socially appropriate (or is that not socially appropriate…?)
- Janss Marketplace Summer Concert Series [Thousand Oaks]: Check it out each Wednesday night from 6-8pm — this week kicks off the series with Ticket to Ride, a Beatles tribute band! Don’t forget to register for a chance to win great prizes!
- Sun Sets Summer Concert series [Calabasas Lake]: Sunday, June 25 starts with a dance party band playing rock, soul, disco, and more. Bring your picnic and your dancing shoes!
- Heritage Square Summer Concert Series [Oxnard]: Featuring a wide variety of musical genres every Friday night this summer, from 6-8:30pm
