Here are 3 things to do for the weekend of July 19-21, 2024, curated by WGLT's Lauren Warnecke. You can find more coverage on our Datebook - Arts & Music page or by subscribing to WGLT's Weekend Scoop email newsletter, which goes out every Friday.
Collect them all: Cooler temps this weekend provide a perfect excuse to explore Bloomington-Normal’s parks. Here’s another: It’s Parks and Recreation Month! Visit them all by the end of the month and send in your filled-out Normal park passport—your household could win a free “Picnic in the Park” package.
Chill out and make friends: Venture to Franklin Park after Saturday’s farmers' market for a casual potluck and community hang out organized by Bloomington Revivalists (a group aligned with Strong Towns’ principles). Bring a snack or games to share. 12 p.m. Saturday; sign up available on Google Forms.
Deal me in: The Bistro hosts a Euchre tournament the winner of which splits the pot 50/50. The other half supports downtown Bloomington’s upcoming Pridefest. 1 p.m. Sunday; $10 entry (includes a drink ticket). Reserve a spot via Venmo @BN-Pridefest. Include “Euchre” in the description.
