Here it is: the first weekend in June. Things are starting to heat up, the pool’s open, and you’re jonesin’ for some fun. Pull yourself out of the pool—you’re looking a little pruney—and get to a show! What’s our suggestion?
Well, what could be better than celebrating the triumphant return of DJ Jonathan Toubin to the Beachland Tavern? Last year, Toubin was involved in a freak accident that left him hospitalized after a taxi ran through his hotel room wall and hit him. Countless venues across the country held benefits for him, including Cleveland’s Beachland Ballroom & Tavern. Thankfully, Toubin has made a full recovery and is taking his show on the road again.
So, let’s get out there and celebrate! Or if partying with DJ Jonathan Toubin isn’t your cup of tea, there’s plenty of other things happening in Cleveland this weekend. Here’s the best of the rest:
