Savor the last of summer.

August 2025 e-vents

night market

August may be back-to-school season, but that doesn’t mean the summer vibes are packing up just yet.

The calendar is still stacked with ways to savor the sunshine—think markets, car shows, cosplay, and fresh-cut flowers. It’s the kind of month where your weekend plans practically make themselves, filled with local flavor and unexpected fun.

These events are invitations to connect—with your neighbors, your community, your creative side. These late-summer happenings offer something deeper than entertainment. They’re little reminders that around here, showing up and joining in is what makes summer truly shine. ☀️

BONUS: Located upstairs at Arcademie, The Altar Bar serves up a curated menu of zero-proof cocktails, non-alcoholic beer, and a stylish, laid-back vibe. This fresh addition to the downtown scene is just steps away from the Night Market action.
