One Day Late but Worth the Wait…
TONIGHT ::
Its a special month for the Emerging Artist Program at the Main Roanoke Library. They have not one BUT two fantastic events starting tonight with the BOE Showcase, a Roanoke collective of hip hop, RnB, and breakdancing artists called Blackout Entertainment. DJ DickiE, Receptors, and Aaron Parker (of Red Clay River) will be providing music and Maggie Moos will provide yummy treats and its all completely and totally and wonderfully FREE! Starts at 6pm! (See Thursday for their second stellar event this week)
WEDNESDAY ::
If you haven’t already checked it out and you’re in the mood for a little road trip, head on down to Galax for the Old Fiddler’s Convention in its 73rd year and already in full swing for 2008 until Saturday. Tickets range from $6 to $12 each day for some of the best mountain music around!
THURSDAY ::
Another fantastic opening from the Emerging Artist Series as promised. Kate Abarbanel presents “How to Draw a Blog” utilizing her multi-genre creativity, this actual reality blog interacts with her own personal blog, resulting in song, dance, film, photography & performance. Live music from Receptors and slow food provided. Starts at 6pm at the Main Library Downtown and of course, its fantastically FREE!
FRIDAY ::
How about a Night Under The Stars? Amrhein Wine Cellars is offering just that every Friday in August. For $35 you and your squeeze can spend an evening at the winery with dinner for 2 and a bottle of wine. Who says romance can’t be affordable!?
SATURDAY ::
Looks like its a food, wine, and fabulous libations kind of weekend. There are two options today depending on your vice of choice. For the wine lovers, there’s the Black Dog Wine and Jazz Festival at Chateau Morrisette with everything from fine wine to american roots music and latin jazz. Then for the beer drinkers, there’s the much loved annual Microfestivus at Elmwood Park in Roanoke. Now in its 11th year, you can sample from over 50 beers (well we don’t recommend you actually sample that many, that would be bad) from over 20 microbreweries in the Mid-Atlantic.
SUNDAY ::
Did you know that the Science Museum at Center in the Square is open on Sundays? What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Now showing in the MegaDome: “Africa: The Serengeti” Narrator, James Earl Jones takes viewers on a journey with more than 1.5 million animals as they travel 500 miles across the plains of the Serengeti. Fantastic and Amazing, show is at 2:15pm on Sunday afternoon.
