Summer is officially showing off. This weekend brings a little bit of everything: live music, family adventures, farmers markets, Tejano dancing, Pokémon collecting, and a beautiful community event helping local moms and kids create lasting memories.

Whether you're exploring the Nature Center, singing along at Cine El Rey, or spending Sunday afternoon at a garden tea party, there are plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy everything happening across the 956.

As always, thanks for supporting local events, local businesses, and the people working every day to make our communities stronger.
