Christmas in July: Santa Paddle in Spring Lake

Break out the Santa hats and hit the water—Christmas in July is coming to Spring Lake on Saturday, July 12, from 10–11:30 AM (rain date July 13). For $35, you can join the festive paddle board event, complete with holiday costumes and plenty of summer cheer.

No experience needed—just bring your best holiday getup. Proceeds benefit the Live Like Maddie Foundation, so you’ll be paddling for a great cause, too. It’s fun, it’s goofy, and it’s for charity. Sign up, show up, and get ready to sleigh.

Boots, Beers & Bangers: Thomas Rhett Takes Over PNC This Thursday

Country fans, it’s time to rally—Thomas Rhett is bringing his Better in Boots Tour to PNC Bank Arts Center this Thursday, July 10, with the show kicking off at 7:30 PM.

He’s known for putting on a feel-good, high-energy show filled with chart-toppers like Crash and Burn, What’s Your Country Song, and Look What God Gave Her. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just love a good country night out, you’ll be singing along from start to finish.

Opening acts Tucker Wetmore and Dasha will get the party started early, so plan to arrive on time. Tickets start at less than $100, and last we checked, there are still some good seats left. It’s the perfect mix of summer night + live music + country fun. Grab your crew and go kick up some dust.
