Social Dancing

Join us for an early‑evening blast of swing, jump blues, rockabilly, and vintage rhythm & blues from one of the region’s most beloved bands. The Natty Beaux bring infectious energy, tight musicianship, and a retro vibe that makes it impossible to sit still. Bring a chair, grab a bite from the surrounding restaurants, or jump up and dance—this is one of the most joyful outdoor concerts of the summer. Perfect for music lovers, dancers, and anyone who wants to kick off the weekend with great tunes and great company.
