Oh, the beautiful summer months. How we love thee! With the lovely warm weather come oodles of outdoor music  and film events — and who can argue with that? Since we spend a good portion of the year hibernating,  St. Paulites like to take advantage of the warm season that much more. St. Paul’s 2010 Music in the Parks series recently kicked off  and will continue through the summer, with live entertainment practically every day of the week at a number of picturesque city parks. From Como’s pretty Lake Side Pavilion to the breezy Phalen Amphitheater to urban green spots like Rice Park and Mears park, there’s a little something for everyone.

Also on task this summer, starting June 16th is Comcast’s Movies in the Park, held at various city parks and rec centers and featuring a fun lineup of family friendly flicks like Where the Wild Things Are, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Free Willy, Up, the Wizard of Oz and many more.

And don’t forget the awesome annual Music in Mears series, starting June 10th, which features a more hipster-friendly lineup of bands such as the Idle Hands, Romantica, Communist Daughter, Zoo Animal, Unknown Prophets, Caroline Smith & The Goodnight Sleeps, Halloween Alaska and many more.
