The Scouted Calendar / July 2016

Between the Fourth of July and family vacations, the first full month of summer can seem to fly by. Fortunately, when we do have some downtime, there are plenty of events and activities in our Scouted cities that offer opportunities to celebrate culture and have fun with friends and family in a variety of wonderful settings; here are a few of our favorites:

GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT

On July 14 from 6 – 10 p.m., the Bruce Museum invites guests to embrace their inner Francophile at Summer Night in Paris, during which attendees can enjoy French food and wine outside, dance to French music, and take in the “Electric Paris” art show. {Find local recommendations for what to do and see in Greenwich here.}

July 4, the Grand Teton Music Festival kicks off with a “Patriotic Pops” concert with the Festival Orchestra playing festive favorites to a sold-out crowd (though it’s not too late to get on the waitlist). Concerts continue throughout the summer, including a cabaret-style evening of Rodgers and Hammerstein, a performance of Mendelssohn’s Octet, and more. {Find local recommendations for what to do and see in Jackson Hole here.}
