Long weekend list for Cambridge, Saturday through Monday. Worth a quick check of the weather and the venue's own page before you head out, in case anything shifts.
Saturday August 1
- Afternoon garden concert with Jess and Richard Arrowsmith at McDougall Cottage, 1pm. Small historic garden, ticketed through Eventbrite, and it is the kind of room that sells out rather than turns people away at the door.
- Live DJ on the Stone Stage in District Square at the Gaslight District, 6pm. Free and outdoors, and it moves into The Underwing if the weather turns. The Jays game against the Cardinals is on the screen the same evening.
- Latin Music on Queen, 6pm, Downtown Hespeler. Queen Street is closed for it. Free outdoor salsa, bachata and merengue with a beginner lesson before the social, so no partner and no experience needed. This is one of five free outdoor dates they are running this summer.
- Errol Blackwood at The Easy Pour Wine Bar, 6:30pm.
- Aging Oak, 6:30 to 9:30pm, live music.
Sunday August 2
- KW Woodwind Quintet at the Mill Race Park amphitheatre, 7pm. Light classical and pop, free and outdoors, part of Cambridge Summer Live.
- Open mic at Ernie's Cookhouse in Hespeler, 6pm.
Monday August 3
- Hand building pottery workshop with Cool Aunt Creatives at Ernie's Cookhouse, 7 to 9pm. Ticketed, under 18 welcome with an adult. Note the address: the Eventbrite listing says 16 Mead Court, but Ernie's Cookhouse is at 7 Queen St W in downtown Hespeler. Check with the organizer before you drive.
Also on: Ontario Summer Games events run at Cambridge venues through Sunday, and there is sailing on Conestoga Lake and road cycling through Wellesley Township if you want to go watch something.
Hope this gives you some options to go out and connect with good people around you. Have a great long weekend.
