HOW TO DO SUMMER IN THE VILLE

Louisville Summer is in full swing: where the humidity wraps around you like a damp blanket, and the sun turns sidewalks into griddles. But fear not—Do502's guide to surviving the season suggests embracing the sweat with a sweet scoop of ice cream. Or perhaps distract yourself with live music at some of the fine local venues, And when the heat becomes too much, consider paddling through the Parklands of Floyds Fork or strolling across the Big Four Bridge, because nothing says 'summer fun' like pretending you're not slowly roasting!

IN THE FUTURE

🎸 The Psychedelic Furs

Tonight, 7/8 @ Mercury Ballroom (8PM) 

“Pretty in Pink,” “Love My Way,” “Heaven,” and so many more songs. The band delivers brooding, velvety post-punk anthems that make existential dread sound almost romantic.

 🦍 Hump Day Happy Hour: Grapes with the Apes

Tomorrow, 7/9 @ Louisville Zoo (6:30-8:30PM) 

Go bananas as you sip on specialty Silverback Sangria in the zoo’s award-winning gorilla exhibit space.

🎵 Joslyn & the Sweet Compression

Thursday, 7/10 @ Zanzabar (8PM)

A dynamic voice combined with captivating musicianship makes what Glide Magazine calls, “a refreshing take on the neo-soul/funk sound unbound by modern cliches.”

🩷Downtown Drive-In: Pretty in Pink

Friday, 7/11 @ Brown-Forman Amphitheater (8PM)

“Pretty in Pink” is not only a great song, it’s also a classic 80s cult film from John Hughes, starring Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy, and Jon Cryer.

⚽ Racing Louisville FC vs Lexington SC

Sunday, 7/13 @ Lynn Family Stadium (6PM)

The only home game for the women this month features a local friendly and the first time these two teams meet up in NWSL action.
