Evansville’s got a full dance card this weekend—and whether you’re a jazz cat, headbanger, wine sipper, or karaoke king, there’s a place with your name on it. So grab your sunscreen, stretch those vocal cords, and let’s dive in.

🍷 Thursday, June 12 – Wine Not?

Lindsey Williams brings the vibes while you sip, swirl, and pretend you're not checking work emails on your lunch break.

EVPL Oaklyn

“Learn, Build, Play!” with Monte Skelton. Translation: your kid is going to have a blast—and you might learn a thing or two, too.

Reitz Home Museum
 5:00pm – 7:00pm
 Wine Down to the Weekend with Gina, Bob, and Monte. Historic home + great music + wine = your new favorite Thursday tradition.

Mojos Boneyard

Danny Erkman, Jon Rochner, and Jon Snyder will soundtrack your wings-and-whiskey night.

🎤 Friday, June 13 – Bring the Noise

Outdoor patio + live music = perfect Friday formula.

 6:00pm – 10:30pm
Free. Heavy. Loud. All-ages. Support local music and It Takes a Village Animal Rescue while moshing to Morbid Visionz, Flesher, Devour, and more.
Also on deck: food trucks, local art vendors, and the loudest love for the 812.

Main Street Block Party (900 Block of Main St)
 5:00pm – 8:00pm
Over 20 vendors, live music by D.R. Bridges, drag show, inflatable obstacle course (we dare you), and a drum circle. Because why not?

🎸 Saturday, June 14 – Summer Heat, Live Beats

Bokeh Lounge – That’s What She Said
 8:00pm
Come for the name, stay for the tunes.

Bally’s 421 Lounge – BG3

New owner, same party. Come meet, greet, and groove.

Primetime North – The Strolling Tones

Just a rolling rock cover band walking the walk and shredding the solos.

Jacobs Pub / DiLegge’s – Adam Blythe
 7:00pm
Cozy pub, killer vocals, cold drinks. Classic Evansville.

Havens Bar – Karaoke
 9:00pm – Midnight
Because we all sound better after two drinks. Science.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The Franklin Street Bazaar is hitting the brakes this Saturday—but for good reason. The West Side Nut Club Cruise-In is rolling into town June 14 from 3–8PM, taking over Franklin Street with classic cars, custom rides, and chrome so shiny you’ll see your reflection (and your bad decisions).

So if you were planning on stocking up on soap and sourdough, swap that tote bag for a lawn chair and soak up the horsepower instead.

No burnouts. No bazaar. Just good vibes and great engines.

🎷 Sunday, June 15 – Smooth Landing

Bokeh Lounge – Sunday Jazz: Jacob Adams Big Band
 2:30pm
Let the horns lift your soul and your brunch.

Bokeh Lounge – Karaoke with DJ Nate
 6:00pm
Your weekend encore. One mic, zero regrets.

🐝 Final Buzz

Whether you’re sipping wine in a museum, moshing in the streets, or losing your voice to karaoke by Sunday night… just hydrate, high-five a stranger, and pretend you had a curfew all along.
