The Ballston Business Improvement District’s BallstonGives charity is hosting its inaugural Bands & Brews on the Boulevard on Saturday, July 24, with live music and what it calls a 200-foot street pub.
The event will run from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and be held directly on Wilson Boulevard, with a two block stretch of Wilson closed to traffic from N. Stuart Street to N. Randolph Street. The location is just a couple of blocks from he Ballston Metro stop.
The Ballston BID says the event is family-friendly, and admission is free. Drink tickets can be bought in advance online.
