The summer season is in full swing. Clear skies and temperatures in the 70’s are encouraging the community to venture outside. Leading up to the 4th of July weekend, a variety of events are planned to celebrate our community, culture, outdoors, and arts. We preview some of the happenings taking place this week in Jackson Hole.

Tuesday 6/28: Tapas Tuesday

The first in a series of evening events, each Tuesday through September. From 5-9 pm, Rising Sage Cafe serves tapas plates featuring a changing menu of small dishes, each under $15.00. The casual event provides an opportunity to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere at the museum. Currently on exhibition is Y2Y – Yellowstone to Yukon; a collaboration between the Wildlife Art Museum and the Whyte Museum in Banff. Running through August, it educates visitors about the importance of the Y2Y migratory corridor through art.

Wednesday 6/29: The Peoples Farmers Market

The People’s Market will be at the Lutheran Church, next to the Recreation Center on Wednesday evenings from 4:00 to 7:00. The fair will run through September 22nd. The focus of the People’s Market is community, with the main emphasis on locally produced foods. Area vendors include Haderlie Farms, Lotus Café, Cosmic Apple Gardens, Snake River Brewing, Snowdrift Farms, 460 bread, and more.
