Hey Neighbor 👋
Summer energy is fully here. This weekend FXBG brings the noise with a three-day Bluegrass Festival, Jazz in the Park, late-night Neon Nights, a sourdough class, a pop-up cigar lounge grand opening, a midnight market, and enough live music to soundtrack your whole weekend. Saturday morning farmers market leads into crafts, karaoke, and Crowfoot Bottom Live. Sunday wraps it with a rescue 5K, Skunk Yoga, and a grand opening worth checking out.
