At Checkpoint 3, located at Tire Swing Park under the Marsupial Bridge, there’s a non-stop dance party with guest DJs.

Summerween at Chill on the Hill
Happy Summerween
- Tuesday, July 30

“Summerween” is not a specific date, but the idea is it’s a way to get a dose of the Halloween spirit while waiting for October. Bay View’s beloved Pumpkin Pavilion (happening Oct. 16-19), a display of hundreds of carved pumpkins with live music, food and drink, is hosting a Summerween celebration at Chill on the Hill. You can enter a watermelon and pineapple carving contest (register by July 29, entry form can be found here) and they’ll reveal their 2024 Pumpkin Pavilion t-shirt design. The musical performances for the evening are by local bands Lack of Reason and Adorner.
Chill on the Hill food trucks open at 5 p.m., music at 6:30 p.m. Free event.
