July means summer has officially arrived. These are some of the things that should be on your to-do list this month.
Concours d'Elegance at Copshaholm
Car lovers and history buffs don't want to miss one of our marquee summer events. Classic automobiles from around the country will assemble on the grounds of the Oliver Mansion on July 13 for the Concours d'Elegance at Copshaholm. It's a great opportunity to explore the museum campus.
St. Joseph County 4H Fair
It wouldn't be summer in The Bend without a visit to the St. Joseph County 4H Fair, which runs through July 6. Animals, fair food, games and rides on the midway await those looking for some family friendly fun.
Raft the East Race Waterway
There are few thrills like splashing down the whitewater rapids right in the heart of downtown South Bend. Open from early June through Labor Day, the East Race Waterway is a one-of-a-kind experience. Make sure to book your tickets in advance and get the scoop on everything you need to know before you go.
Vibes Music Festival
Head to Howard Park on July 13 for the fifth edition of Vibes Music Festival, a vibrant celebration of culture and talent.
Plant Pride
Hosted by The Botany Shop on July 20 in South Bend's Near Northwest Neighborhood, Plant Pride is an annual event that celebrates our community. It's part block party, part maker market and a great day to connect with the neighborhood and plant lovers.
Watch South Bend Cubs Baseball
Baseball season is in full swing at one of the country's best Minor League stadiums. The Cubs play at Four Winds Field from July 1-3 and July 19-28 (with off days July 22 and 29). You can expect fun for the whole family, delicious food and great promotions like Thirsty Thursday and Fantastic Friday Fireworks.
