The Clog Weekend Omnibus: The Glorious, Patriotic 3-Day Weekend

Friday: Head out of town for some pre-patriotic R&R at the Chaddsford Winery's live music and barbecue fest, where you'll listen to local fave Red Alert, while enjoying a red, white or sweet wine — sure to not leave you blue. If you’re sticking to the city, duck into the Art Museum and catch the jazz-Latin stylings of Magos Herrera. Or check out poems and a puppet show from the multi-medium artist Ish Klein.
Saturday: As the citizens of the birthplace of America, it's our duty to go all out on the fourth. But there’s more to do than to do than party on The Parkway with Sheryl Crow. Drink up Franklin-style at City Tavern’s Independence Day, with beers from Yards Brewing Co. made from the recipes of our Founding Fathers. Later, catch a showing of 1776, the Tony-award winning musical that celebrates our nation's tumultuous creation (can we say, angry sex?). Then grab dinner on foot with the 4th of July Red, White & Blue Food Tour, where red wine, white chocolate and blue cheese will tickle those taste buds.
Sunday: Hungover and hot? Probably the best spot to be is at the 11th Annual All-You-Can-Eat Ice Cream Fest, where for five Lincolns you can stuff your face until your belly bursts. Cause what’s more American that overeating, anyway? Then get those hip bangs off your sweaty forehead and out of the dessert, with a crafty fabric headband from local designers catFlowers.
