It’s the second to last Jazz on the Green concert, featuring Marcos and Sabor. The Omaha-native duo plays a variety of music with a Latin flair. This fan-favorite is sure to get you on your feet. (Dancing. We’re talking about dancing.) Local singer/songwriter Alexis Robles is also performing, singing a mix of pop, jazz, and Latin music. The park opens at 5 p.m. with Robles going on at 6:30 p.m. As always, get there early to reserve your spot! Find out more about Jazz on the Green and its performers here.

There’s a Back to School Bash at The Durham Museum you won’t want to miss! The animated, dinosaur-filled film We’re Back will be playing, a “bounce-a-sarus” bounce house will be bopping, and there will be face painting going on. And of course, an exploration of the museum’s current exhibit, Tyrannosaurs: Meet the Family, is a must. Don’t miss Scotty, the largest T. Rex currently known to man. There’s also a food truck roundup in the parking lot to feed the masses (thankfully none of the dinosaurs are real). Dig up all the details here.
