Summer Time in the MTZ

by Vanessa Gil, Arts & Events Editor

If you’ve never spent time in Downtown Martinez on a summer weekend, you’re missing out. Market & Main’s outdoor container bar is open right next door to Five Suns’ patio. Main Street is closed off and there’s live music inside and out of various venues. Cute little boutique shops are open, great little restaurants and an amazing small town vibe. You should really check it out sometime. Outside of Martinez, here’s what I’m most excited for the week of 5/14 and beyond.
