Babylon Is Basically Coachella This Week, If Coachella Had Better Bagels
Lineup includes cover bands, art shows, and your neighbor Gary in cargo shorts.
If you thought Babylon was sleepy in late August, think again. This week we’ve got everything from youth theater shows and block parties to fishing trips, street fairs, and concerts that’ll make your dad break out his air guitar. Consider this your anti-doomscrolling toolkit: swap political chaos for popcorn at Tanner Park, inflation talk for free live music, and your 3rd Netflix binge for an actual night out.
