Have your neighbors been celebrating the Fourth since at least Friday? Yeah, the illegal popping off of illegal fireworks has been a real downer, especially for the pups.
But the real thing is just hours away! Below is a roundup of our weekly events preview for the week. In addition to real fireworks, we’re also in full Artown mode. That means oodles of events are on the horizon for all to enjoy.
Some events to check out this week:
Sponsored: “Puffs” is coming to Good Luck Macbeth. The New York Times proclaims PUFFS, “a fast-paced romp” through the ‘Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic.’” Think Harry Potter. For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs… who just happened to be there too.

Sponsored: Who is ready for Dancing in the Streets? That’s this year’s theme for Midtown’s Art Walk. Enjoy six outdoor stages down Virginia Street from Liberty to Plumb Lane where you can dance the night away to some of your favorite local bands at the Midtown Art Walk. Details.
