What's going on - week of 6/2-6/8

Each week I will be publishing 2 posts - Mondays will be articles and reviews. Thursdays will be a "What's Going On" feature, in which I highlight upcoming events and ticket deadlines.

It's officially June - and the start of the summer season! Check out some of the amazing outdoor events that are available locally.

Here's some of what's coming up this week:

6/2 - Tonight (Thursday) at 6:30 is the Pride Week 5k on Chippewa - tickets are still available at the time of this publication! Join the most fabulous race in Buffalo, and then join up after the race at Soho Burger bar for food and drinks! (FYI - you don't have to be gay/lesbian/bisexual/pansexual/ace/agender/transgender... you get the idea. You can be a totally cis/straight person - just show up and show out, and show this community some love!)

6/2 - for a little calmer time tonight, you can check out the Beginner's Hatha Yoga Class at the Buffalo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy at 7PM. This class is free, and is a great start for a beginner yogi!

6/3 - Tomorrow night (Friday) at 7PM is a totally sweet AcroYoga class at Canalside. This is a FREE event, and you don't even have to bring your own partner. For those not familiar with AcroYoga, it is a practice that blends elements of yoga, acrobatics, and healing arts. There is a base that remains connected to the ground, a flyer that stays connected to the base, and a spotter that helps to maintain a safe practice. (I'm personally really excited to try this out this summer)

6/3, 4, and 5 - This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, check out some of the options that Explore Buffalo has available to stay active, and see parts of our city in a brand new way! Friday is a Paddle and Pints event at Elevator Alley - starting with a paddle through the grain elevators, and ending up at Gene McCarthy's Tavern. Saturday and Sunday they will have walking tours in the First Ward, and at Columbus Parkway. See their website for event and ticket information.
