Lunchtime Live! in Bronson Park
Something Delicious Lunchtime Live! returns
What are you looking forward to more? Choosing among varied dishes available at many food trucks or eating among the leafy greenness of Bronson Park? You’ll be able to get both when Lunchtime Live! returns to Bronson Park on June 12. The event, which runs from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. every Friday, offers a variety of food truck vendors, live music, pop-up retail vendors and activities. At press time, the event was still scheduled to begin in June, according to Ashton Anthony, recreation manager for the Kalamazoo Department of Parks & Recreation.
Something Free
A weekend to get hooked on fishing If
you’ve been itching to try out angling (fancy word for fishing) but not ready to splurge on getting a license, no worries. You can go fishing for free June 13-14. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ Free Fishing Weekend allows Michigan residents and outof-state visitors the opportunity to fish without a fishing license. All fishing license fees will be waived those two days, and participants can fish on both inland and Great Lakes waters for many species of fish. All fishing regulations, including catch and keep limits, will still apply. For more information, visit tinyurl.com/mifishfree.
