Drag bingo? A saxophone quartet? As usual, there’s a myriad, a cornucopia, a plethora of things to do in Red Bank this weekend. Here’s a rundown:
Saturday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Red Bank Parks & Recreation hosts Pride in the Park, featuring music, family activities and more in celebration of LGBTQ pride.
Rain date: June 9 at 11 a.m.
Saturday, from 6 pm. to 9 p.m. the Saturday night “Street Life” performance series continues with performances from Erik Mason (BroadWalk), Elaine (Broad Street in front of Beijing Bistro), Ariana Hartunian-Sowa (Riverside Gardens Park) and Sunken City Saxophone Quartet (Monmouth Street in front of Dublin House).
Friday from 4 pm. to 6 pm is the first in a regular Friday “kids takeover” of Broadwalk, the downtown pedestrian plaza. From the Rivercenter announcement:
Remember when your mom said “Don’t play in the street!” Well, now your kids CAN play in the street at our Kids Take Over. We’ll have games and activities on hand, so stop by for some early evening fun and then enjoy a great dinner at one of our many downtown restaurants! Parental supervision is required for those young ones. Kids Take Over is happening every Friday on the Broadwalk between Friday and the end of September.
