Pickin In The Plaza

The Last One for the SEASON! 

Over the summer the same group that brought you Oak City 7 also organized a FREE Bluegrass music series.  I went to last week’s Oak City and it was pretty cool.  If you are looking for some brews, food trucks, and music – this is a great event.  Bring a chair and park yourself in City Plaza.

Glenwood Live – Glenwood South Music Series

The Magic Pipers Band will setup outside Lucky B’s Bar for free live music.  Also there will be AmigoSan slinging tacos and tots.  It also looks like a few ALS Bucket Challenges will be fulfill there, so the entertainment doesn’t stop at live music.
