A company of fools

There’s so much on the go this weekend so let’s dive right in!

We’ve made it to the weekend, friends! After a short work week for some, we’ve slogged through the heat, humidity, and smoke and managed to get ourselves back to a chock-full weekend in the 613. Take the chance to hit up a nearby beach, check out the opening weekend of Bluesfest, or any of the following cool events happening around town.

Every first Monday of the month, Apartment613 publishes the coolest #ottarts #ottjobs we hear about. All the best arts and culture gigs in our local network.
