I’m planning to lay low this weekend given the record-high temperatures.
On Saturday, I’ll try to drink in some coolness with a nighttime backyard hang at a friend’s house. And on Sunday, I’ll be attending a watch party for the start of the new “Bachelorette” season.
If you’re feeling like braving a festival this weekend (or traveling to a cooler spot where the temperatures won’t be so bad), here’s what’s going on this weekend. And here’s a map so you can get an idea of where everything’s at.
