Summer is about two things: getting your tan on + jamming out(doors).

Today is the first day of the season, and if you’re anything like us — there are no days off. Here’s our roundup of top spots to lay out/take a stroll + outdoor concerts you could listen to before the season ends.

☀️ Catch some rays

Don’t take the warm weather for granted — get out and enjoy it.
