Another week has passed in the Valley, and hopefully everyone has been able to stay cool as the temps rise.

Fortunately, there seems to be a trend that as the temperatures rise, there is a rise of events to check out to keep you busy (and cool).

We’ve gathered some of our favorite picks for the week. Whatever you decide to do this week, tag us with #FrayLife so we can get in on the action too!
