Bell Works After Dark: Music, Food & Fireworks
Need a fun way to break up the week without staying out too late? Bell Works is bringing back its beloved Live Music + Fireworks event this Wednesday, June 25. Music is from 5-9pm at Bar Bella, giving you time to enjoy the market vibes and grab a drink before the main event.
Around 8:30pm, the fireworks light up the sky—perfect timing to catch the show and still get home at a reasonable hour. Bonus points: it’s free, family-friendly, and If weather turns, the show flips to Thursday night (June 26), so plan accordingly!
It’s a great way to enjoy summer without the late-night hassle.

Beachside Blockbusters: Free Movies at Jenkinson’s Boardwalk
Looking for a low-key way to spend summer nights with the kids—and maybe actually get to relax a little? Jenkinson’s Boardwalk is hosting free movies every Tuesday this summer, kicking off around 8:30 PM by the pavilion on the beach. Start times can shift with the sunset, so bring your blankets, chairs, and snacks, and settle in for a laid-back evening under the stars. Perfect for making memories without any extra stress.
