Hard as it may be to believe, we’re almost to the half-way point of summer. No need to worry though, we’re here to help make it easy to squeeze as many memories as possible into the remaining days – and nights. Enjoy live music on Main Street, great deals on dining out, memorable moments with neighbors, and more! Make sure you check out all the activities and events at Verrado all summer long.
Nights Out, All Summer Long
The best thing about summer might just be the nights, and there are plenty of ways to enjoy Verrado especially after dark. As the day cools down and daylight lingers, the possibilities for what you can do to fill your evening hours seem endless, and they almost are. There are a hundred ways to spend them, so make a plan and let’s take advantage of every single one before it’s time to go back to school (and work).
Things to Do for the Kids
• Family Moonlight Hikes – Take advantage of the opportunity to get out and hike under the moonlight as a family at White Tank Mountains Regional Park. Spot bats and other nocturnal creatures for a truly unique perspective on the desert.
