  Healthy Snack Workshop

  Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center is still under construction, but they are continuing their programming at alternate locations. This free cooking demo with Common Threads, a nonprofit with a mission to improve community health through nutrition, offers a chance to learn about some nutritious and tasty snacks while meeting some neighbors. Make chili-lime popcorn, sweet plantain chips, and watermelon agua fresca at this one, and register by Friday, July 12, so they’ll know how many supplies to bring. – Kat McNevins

  Sydney Wright

  Local pop purveyor Sydney Wright ventures out of a Wednesday residency at Radio/East for a spot at the Hotel Van Zandt’s Geraldine’s. The Snyder native’s ebullient music is layered like champagne cake and just as sweet, serving as a backdrop for an effortless alto. Intricate Ableton loops blend together seamlessly to create her soundscapes, her experience as a sound engineer adding finesse to the performance. It’s perfect easy summer night listening. – Abby Johnston
