Heads up: Critters and cocktails
By Wade KwonMore music in May with the return of two crowd-pleasers: Art on the Rocks tonight and Do Dah Day Saturday.
Art on the Rocks begins its first of four monthly gatherings at the Birmingham Museum of Art downtown. On tap tonight is funk pioneer band The Dynamites. Tickets are $20.
And after tonight’s Do Dah Eve celebration at Nana Funks in Lakeview ($5), the parade of canines, kitties and their humans begins at 11:01 a.m. Registration begins at 9:01 at the starting point of Highland and 33rd Street [map]. Free to watch, $5 to $20 to parade.
The free concerts begin at 11:21 on stages in Caldwell and Rhodes Parks on Southside, including headliners The Radiators (rock) and Anders Osborne (R&B/blues). The bands play until 6:11 p.m. Proceeds from Do Dah Day benefit the Greater Birmingham Humane Society and Friends of Cats and Dogs Foundation.
