Are you looking for something fun for your kids to do this summer? Bring them to the climbing gym! On Wednesdays, we'll have open gym time for them to climb and have fun! We'll have staff available each Wednesday to help them with the ropes if they want to climb higher. This isn't a class/camp but is a great way for children to join in the fun of indoor rock climbing! This is great for first time climbers and more advanced gym monkeys alike! Parents must stay with their kids.

Super Pickle Party 2025

SAT JUL 19: 11AM - 11PM @ Fermental - SPD
Join the folks at Fermental as they celebrate the pleasantry of PICKLES with pickle beers, pickle wine, and more.

Cleopatra swore by them. So did Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte. Pickles got their start more than 4,000 years ago, when ancient Mesopotamians began soaking cucumbers in acidic brine, as a way to preserve them. Since then, they have been a staple in cultures around the globe, renowned for their heartiness, health benefits and delicious taste.

PICKLES!

This DILL-ICIOUS Saturday will be accompanied by live music, a local food truck, coffee cart, and plenty of pickle-related pageantry.

Big thanks to Katie for catching the mix-up—Thursday night’s Jack Jack 180 show was at Wrightsville Beach Park, not the brewery. And shoutout to Bruce for the jazz show clarification. Appreciate you both for keeping things on point.
