Happy 4th of July! And happy weekend! Hope you’re taking a long weekend to celebrate with family, friends, food, and some fireworks.

In addition to consoling our dogs during the aforementioned fireworks, here’s what we’re hoping to get to this weekend:

Featured

Darling Doughnuts + Common Roots

Have you been to the temporary taproom at Common Roots yet? They’re teaming up with another favorite of ours, Darling Doughnuts, for a doughnut and beer pairing, and we couldn’t think of a more perfect time to check it out if you haven’t! Grab the details here.

Blueberry Picking

It’s blueberry season! We just saw the announcement go up that Winney’s Blueberry Farm in Schuylerville is opening for the season tomorrow (Friday)! We’ve also had great luck picking at Hick’s Orchard (doesn’t look like theirs are ready, but they just opened for cherry picking!)…anywhere else we should try? Can’t wait to make the first fresh blueberry pie of the season.

Outdoor Cinema

There’s nothing more “Hometown USA” than a movie under the stars in City Park. Art in the Public Eye presents family friendly movies all summer long on Friday nights, and while we don’t have kids, you may see us watching from afar as we enjoy a drink on the porch at Morgan and Co or the patio at Park 26. Check out the schedule here.

ADK Theatre Festival

The summer is in full swing and we can’t believe the second show of ATF is about to begin! The Enlightenment of Percival Von Schmootz opens tomorrow (Friday) and it sounds like a fun musical comedy about a young man finding hope and humor in some not-so-great circumstances. Find all the details here.

Have a great weekend and Happy 4th!
