  Saturday July 8

Imbibe Northside

• Where: Mattress Factory Museum- North Side
• When: 7pm-10pm
• Cost: $25 or $50 for VIP (early entry)
• Check out this event hosted by the Mattress Factory for an evening of food, drinks, and installation style exhibits. If you’ve never been to the Mattress Factory, it is definitely  worth the trip. Local wineries, distilleries, and breweries will be on hand to provide your libations while you peruse the the exhibits. Best part? Your ticket gets you FREE DRINKS all night, that is a small price to pay for great drinks and interesting art.

Omnimax Movie Marathon

• Where: Carnegie Science Center- North Shore
• When: Saturday 10am-Sunday 5pm
• Cost: $10 for nonmembers $5 for members
• Guys, did you know they are getting rid of the Omnimax? Sad. To go out with a bang, Carnegie Science Center is hosting a 31 hour movie marathon event. Starting at 10am on Saturday until 5pm on Sunday, the museum will be OPEN and showing movies in the theater. Your entry is good for the entire time. Want to see the movie they are showing at 10am, go to the casino, then come back for a movie at 5pm? Cool. Want to stop in at 5am to catch the show? Great…but also, why are you awake? On top of the movies, the floors of the museum PLUS Highmark Sportsworks, live food demos, and the planetarium will be open for the duration of the marathon. There will also be food and a cash bar. It will be like your elementary school field trip–but way better. Check out the museum’s page for a full listing of movies, times, and other events happening throughout the day.

Your ticket to the event includes a 75 minute all levels flow class on their patio from the ladies at Pure Power Yoga. After the class, enjoy your brunch and a cocktail of your choice (included with the price). Don’t forget your mat!
