Third Friday Fling in the Springs

Friday May 18, 2012, 6:00 - 11:00 p.m.
The 3rd Weekend Fling starting May 18 will be jam-packed with lots of fun things to do all over downtown.  From late night shopping and gallery hopping, to dining and a variety of live entertainment, there will be lots to keep you busy and happy. 
 
Headlining the Fling is the Cyclops Fest Pre-party “Dynamite Soul: An Evening of Gimmick Free Hip-Hop and Ill Sensations,” an outdoor event at Kings Yard located in the heart of downtown Y.S.
 
Kicking off the festivities at 6, Dynamite Soul will be a showcase for Ohio hip-hop artists and DJ’s. Featured artists will be Turntable Philanthropy ( Columbus OH ), Skratchmatik Turntable Crew ( Dayton OH ) and Grey Market / Dysfunktional Family ( Athens OH ). In addition, there will be live graffiti, screen-printing demos and a craft beer and food garden sponsored by Ye Olde Trail Tavern.  And at 9 pm, Soul Fire Tribe will be lighting the night with an exciting performance in front of Asanda Imports. 
 
There will also be art openings around town from 6-9 pm.  Yellow Springs Arts Council will host an artist reception for their latest exhibit “Dancing with the Universe:  Masks and Beyond” at their beautiful new gallery at 111 Corry St .   Across the street at 100 Corry St. Village Artisans hosts an opening for “Spring has Sprung” and John Bryan Community Pottery , in the Penguin Building at 100 Dayton St., has their show “The Leading Edge; Ceramic Educators in the Miami Valley.” 
 
Usual Friday evening activities include wine tasting and live music at Emporium from 6:30-10 pm and live music at Peach’s Grill starting at 10 pm. And remember that a trip to Yellow Springs is never complete without a stroll through the downtown shops and some delicious food from one of our great bistros like the Fling special black bean nachos from Current Cuisine.
