What's Up: Weekend Fun, Back-To-School Sale, Music

"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine." ~Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book

Here are five things to help get your weekend going in Manhattan Beach: 

1. If you're thinking back-to-school already, Children's Orchard is offering a 50 percent off sale on sizes 8 and up. Call or visit this gently-used children's store for details.
   
2. Bring back the horns, please! If you enjoy horns in music, you'll want to catch the Murphy's Law Quartet, a trombone quartet, for a free concert Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church. MLQ plays music by Bach, Debussy, Ewazen and more. 
   
3. Another ode to things past will take place Sunday when a Woodstock Tribute takes the stage in Manhattan Beach as part of the city's free summer concert series. Concerts are outdoors in Polliwog Park from 5 to 7 p.m.
4. More than 1,000 people, most dressed in white, are expected to attend one of the summer's most highly anticipated events, Walk with Sally's 7t Annual White Light White Night, Saturday at the MBS Media Campus on Rosecrans Avenue. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will supply the sounds and there will be food samples from restaurants such as Shade Hotel, Circa and The Strand House. The event is sold out. To see the auction items available for attendees to bid on, click here. Walk With Sally, a non-profit organization, provides mentoring support programs to children of parents or siblings with cancer. 
5. Did you know the plague still exists? It does and a ground squirrel carrying the disease caused multiple campgrounds to be closed in the Angeles National Forest Wednesday. If you have plans to camp there this weekend, be sure to contact the campground to make sure your site is still open. The Broken Blade, Twisted Arrow and Pima Loops of the Table Mountain Campground are all closed for at least seven days, according to City News Service.
