South Slope Events Spotlight: July 25-28

Whether you’re looking for a little uke action, or an adorable Russian mouse, South Slope is the place to be this weekend. Here are some of our favorite picks:

Uke Night at Freddy’s
When: Thursday, July 25, 7:30pm
Where: Freddy’s, 627 5th Avenue, between 17th and 18th Street
What: They’re back! Freddy’s hosts their monthly ukulele jam session Thursday at 7:30. Bring your own uke, play along and then kick back at 9:30pm for a featured performance by the Ukuladies.
How much: Free!

South Slope Summer Stroll
When: Friday, July 26, 5pm to 9pm
Where: 5th Avenue from 12th Street to 18th Street
What: The South Slope Summer Stroll is back for the second week in a row. More of a block party than a street fair, the area between 12th and 18th will be closed to traffic (be sure to move your car by 4pm), so neighbors can grab a beer while the kids enjoy face painting, a bouncy house, hula hoops, sidewalk chalk, vintage cars, live music, dance lessons in the street, and even a giant rock climbing wall from Brooklyn Boulders. For more information, visit the 5th Avenue BID website.
How much: Free!

Dan Abraham, Jessi Robertson, and Kevin Johnston of The Bright Silence Rock Bar 4
When: Saturday, July 27, 8pm
Where: 444 7th Avenue at 15th Street
What: Come show some love to local favorite Bar 4 as they kick off their final weeks in South Slope with an impressive lineup of music Saturday night. Check out the Bar 4 website for videos from the scheduled artists.
How much: Free!

Cafe Steinhof Sunday Movie
When: Sunday, July 28, 10:30pm
Where: 422 7th Avenue at 14th Street
What: As long as you’re prepared to have “Somewhere Out There” stuck in your head for the next week, grab a little Austrian comfort food and settle in for a night with Fievel Mousekewitz as Cafe Steinhof shows An American Tail this Sunday.
How much: Free!
