Independence Day weekend with funk at Chelsea’s, Drumming in the Park, and kid’s opera in the Aud

557

We cruise into summer with an extravaganza of fun for the Fourth of July weekend. On Friday Cadillac Jackson brings the funk and hip-hop styles through the summer night haze at Chelsea’s. Saturday we have Drumming in the Park, always drawing a big crowd with hypnotic rhythm, and on Saturday at 3, Opera in the Ozarks belts out Jack & the Beanstalk children’s opera in the Auditorium. It’ll cost adults a sawbuck, young’uns are free.
