Summer Music Weekends begin this weekend at Rock City Gardens, every Saturday, Sunday and holiday through Labor Day, from noon to 4 pm. Enjoy some toe-tapping, old time music with the returning New Binkley Brothers and some delicious barbeque out at Lover’s Leap!

Rock City Raptors Birds of Prey Shows are also going on every Thursday through Sunday, starting May 26 through Labor Day, show times at 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm, with additional shows at 4:30 pm on Saturdays. This fascinating show is presented by John and Dale Stokes with Save Our American Raptors (S.O.A.R.) in Critter Classroom. See birds fly overhead and soar through the crowd – close enough to touch! This is an interactive experience that provides a great learning opportunity about birds of prey including hawks, owls, bald eagles and vultures. www.seerockcity.com/birds
