Weekend happenings!
Another fun-filled weekend in Northfield - this time highlighted by the 4th of July Celebration Saturday on Bridge Square. Food vendors open at 10, the Kiddie Bike Parade kicks it off at Noon (from the Econofoods parking lot) and music plays into the night with fireworks capping it off at dusk. For more on 4th happenings and the illustrious Dan Freeman, who makes it all possible, click on this locally grown blog post. You can also find a schedule on page 15 of the Northfield Entertainment Guide.
But the weekend starts tonight, Friday, with a great lineup up musicians downtown – Carey Langer at the Contented Cow (5-8), Norwegian Cowboy at the Tavern Lounge (7-11), and New Moon Trio keeping things moving at the Cow at 8. And as it looks to be excellent weather - note that both venues sport riverside decks! The Rueb hosts Karaoke starting at 9.
In addition to music, food and fun on the Square on Saturday (there's even a full-fledged bike criterion whizzing through downtown and a flea market in Ames Park across from the post office), Joe Meyer plays the Tavern Lounge 7-11 and Bitter Roots does the Contented Cow. The Rueb host DJ Music starting at 9.
Sunday has, as always, the triumverate of fun at the Contented Cow – Politics and a Pint at 6 p.m., Northern Roots (Jam - as in music) Session at 7:30 and Quiz Night at 8.
Details on all this and the rest of July in the Northfield Entertainment Guide, available online and in print at hot spots throughout town in the gray sidewalk boxes downtown.
