Hubbard House Garden Party
Time: 2:00 pm
Join The New Pearl Buttons for a delightful afternoon of turn-of-the-last-century music on the beautiful grounds of the Hubbard House.

No charge for the concert, but modest admission if you wish to tour the house. Yep; it's the Good Old Summertime, and we WILL be playing that tune, among lots of others! We're there 2-4 pm. Bring a lawn chair or blanket for seating on the grass.

Alden Square Neighbors Potluck
Time: 6:00 pm
EVERYONE is a neighbor at Alden Square Park! We've played for their annual potluck for over twenty years. You're invited, and very welcome! Dunquin will play some rollicking Irish music, with few heart-melting airs thrown in for variety. Bring a dish to share, if you like, and a lawn chair or blanket for sitting. Potluck starts around 5:45; music commences about 6:30 and goes about an hour. Summer's flitting away; enjoy outdoor tunes while they're in the air! (Park is close to Raymond and Como Avenues)
