🍻 Around Town: Hops in the Hangar at Middletown airport
Saturday’s sixth annual Hops in the Hangar in Middletown will offer 90 beers from 30 breweries in addition to various food trucks and vendors. An air show is also part of the fun featuring skydivers and several pilots performing aerobatics in their planes. Historic planes will be on display as well. Tickets include 15 beer tasting tickets and a souvenir tasting glass.
👪 Top Family Things to Do
- Greater Dayton Lebanese Festival: The 32nd annual Lebanese Festival is preparing a weekend filled with homemade Lebanese cuisine, baklava, beverages, music, dance, and children’s activities.
- Bites in the Heights: Expect 23 local food trucks to provide all kinds of delicacies Saturday at The Rose Music Center at The Heights along with children’s activities and a cruise-in car show. Family-friendly activities include face painting and seeing alpacas from Topknot Siri Farm. You’ll also have opportunities for pet adoption thanks to the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center.
💖 Top Date Night Picks
- Candlelight: A Tribute to Adele: Savor the Grammy-winning music of Adele in the glow of candlelight Saturday at the Dayton Masonic Center. The concert will feature such tunes as “Rolling in the Deep,” “Chasing Pavements,” “Someone Like You,” “Hello” and “Set Fire to the Rain.”
- ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ at The NEON: Spike Lee and Denzel Washington join forces for this excellent crime drama that feels like a throwback to “Empire” and “Hustle & Flow.” The story concerns family, culture, privilege, sacrifice, social media, and hip-hop music but it’s also a love letter to New York City. Denzel’s studio showdown with rapper A$AP Rocky is a riveting, tense knockout.
