Memorial Day Weekend! We’re looking forward to a long weekend of relaxing with friends and family and hope you are too! Here are a few things that caught our eye:
Memorial Day Parades: We’re so grateful to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and it’s always wonderful to see all of the events in their honor. Of course, no Memorial Day would be complete without taking in the annual Glens Falls Memorial Day parade, which begins downtown and makes it’s way down Glen Street at 10am on Monday (grab those details here). And if you’re really in a parade state of mind this weekend, head just over the bridge for the South Glens Falls Parade on Friday night at 6pm, starting at Main and Haviland and running north to Veteran’s Memorial Park.
Comedy After Dark: Grab dinner downtown and head over to The Park Theater for Comedy After Dark on Friday at 8pm. As seen on NBC, FX and more, Jim Tews has two live albums that have debuted in the top three comedy titles on the iTunes charts. Grab tickets for his show at The Park here.
Memorial Day Market + Party: Have you been to Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery in Queensbury? This weekend marks their 8th anniversary and they’re celebrating with a party - summer cocktails, live music, delicious bbq and local artisan vendors. Sounds right up our alley! Grab the scoop here.
The Outcrops at Dancing Grain: There’s a full weekend of brews and views on tap at Dancing Grain Farm Brewery in Moreau, and on Saturday night they’ve got blues, soul, and rock and roll band, The Outcrops, performing at 5:30pm, along with burgers from Burger 21 - details here!
Wine + Spirits to Benefit Youth Football: Have you popped into the new Queensbury Wine & Spirits yet? If you’re stocking up for your Memorial Day cookout, pop in to shop this Friday when a portion of sales goes directly to the young athletes of Queensbury Youth Football. Details here!
Dahlia Workshop on The Farm: Calling all dahlia lovers - The Farm Store at Tiashoke is hosting a dahlia workshop on Saturday at 10am! Erin from Lot 32 Flower Farm will share her wisdom and techniques for planting, growing, cutting, designing and storing dahlias - one of everyone’s favorite flowers! Learn more and grab your tickets here.
Enjoy the weekend,
Bri + Tom
