June is for grilling out, pool parties, outdoor movie nights, soccer celebrations, and concerts under the stars. If you haven’t hit up my top recs for the month yet, here ya go. It’s A LOT. Unwind from all the craziness, reflect, and set intentions for yourself and your family at Water Lantern Festival. The event has perfect timing, with things calming down at the end of the month on June 27th, at Centennial Park. It’s such a peaceful event full of happiness and healing that I think everyone should attend at least once (I’ve been 3x). Enter to win a pair of tickets!

WE LOVE YOU, DADS!

Wherever dad wants to celebrate, there is a Father’s Day Weekend event that’s a win for everyone!
