Sure, the JamPacked Festival and the Carytown Watermelon Festival are coming up this week – along with baseball, dog and kitten events, lectures, inspiration, tours, and a really weird expo.

Jammin’ on the James: Mother’s Little Helpers

Parliament Funkadelic Featuring George Clinton: Just for The Funk of It
