Monday happenings in Carson City

Event Date: 
July 23, 2018 (All day)

A hot and muggy summer continues; at least the rain helps clear the smoke out of the air. Mondays don’t see a lot of variation from week to week, so they are relatively predictable. You’ll always find some toe-tapping old-timey music at A to Zen during lunch. For a swinging-good time, lessons and open dance with the High Sierra Swing Club will get you going. Belt out a few favorites at all-ages Karaoke hosted by the Fox Brewpub. Have a great day, Carson City, and do what you can to beat the heat.
