Sunday Cookout

Details

Your Sunday just got a serious upgrade. The Rain Sunday Cookout is firing up the grill on May 24th, 2026 at 5:00 PM, turning an ordinary evening into a laid-back patio hang filled with flavor and feel-good energy.

From 5–7 PM, the patio transforms into an easygoing backyard-style cookout, right in the middle of downtown. Think sizzling food, friendly faces, and that golden-hour glow that makes everything feel a little more relaxed and a lot more fun.

Good food: A proper cookout vibe with tasty bites fresh off the grill, perfect for snacking, sharing, and going back for seconds.
Good people: A welcoming crowd that feels more like a gathering of friends than a formal event—great for catching up or meeting someone new.
Good vibes: Chill patio atmosphere, conversation-friendly energy, and the ideal wind-down before the new week kicks off.

This Sunday hang is all about easing into the week ahead with a full plate, a relaxed mood, and a setting that makes you want to linger a little longer. If your perfect Sunday includes tasty cookout food and low-key socializing, this is exactly where you want to be.
