With Memorial Day weekend in the rearview mirror, we're just a few weeks away from the official start of summer. There's no better time to get out and do something fun, and your options this week include a screening of an '80s classic, a "meet the artists" event, and a dark dance party.
Open Mic Music Night
After more than a year of not seeing everyone’s smiling faces around town, people are practically giddy about being out and about again. Nearly everyone has stories to share, or the impulse to express themselves in new ways. Open mic nights around town are providing a creative outlet, for those who take the stage and those prefer to fill out an appreciative audience. At Yucca Tap Room, 29 West Southern Avenue in Tempe, free open mic nights are all about music. Give it a try on Monday, May 31, when sign-ups for performers start at 8 p.m. and the music starts at 9 p.m. While you’re there, check out all the murals painted by local artists in Danelle Plaza, which transform the parking lot behind Yucca Tap Room into a funky exhibition space.
