Squirt By Numbers with Free Style Arts Association Using oil pastels to create an outline, participants use squirt guns filled with watercolors to “paint” the inside of the drawings and watch as their masterpieces explode with color.

Athens Square Park will be quite melodic for the second annual Make Music New York. 6 bands will be performing starting at 2:15 for free. There will crooners and tuners all over the city in general. Check out the website to see if you many land yourself near some music.

Ahhh, Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year; welcome back! Unfortunately if you really think about it the days just get shorter from here on out. But the sun is still out long enough that we don't really notice. Socrates Sculpture Park will be having their seventh annual Summer Solstice Celebration from 5 til sunset.

Sunday is the Steinway Street Fair! I'm going, rain or not. They always say it runs between 34th and 28th avenues, but it never really stretches that far.

Later that night you can check out Rest Stop at Hell Gate Social.
Brace yourself for a spine-chilling experience with this bloodcurdling gore fest. Runaway lovers Jess (Joey Mendicino) and Nicole (Jaimie Alexander) are on a road trip to Hollywood. But when they pause at an abandoned rest stop, Jess disappears. Now, Nicole is tormented by a terrifying psychopath (Nick Orefice) who has an arsenal of equipment -- including drills and staple guns -- to carry out his demented desires. Movies start at sunset in their backyard.

I think I'm forgetting something, if so I will add it later. Otherwise, make it a great one!
