Anime Movie Night at Hello Boba Cafe
Hello Boba Cafe has become a haven for those who love Asian pop culture. The film for the movie night is still to be decided, (we suggest you call ahead), but the $15 ticket includes entry to the film, a drink and a goody bag.

The Macon Bacon vs. The Savannah Bananas
The Packers versus the Bears, Frazier versus Ali, the Red Sox versus the Yankees, the Bacon versus the Bananas. That last one may have been an overstatement, but the Macon Bacon and the Savannah Bananas have one of the most entertaining rivalries in the Coastal Plains League. It’s a fun summer event for the family at Luther Williams Field.
