Summer is upon us and whether it’s a car show, an outdoor concert or movies in the park, there will be no shortage of things to do in Corbin during the coming weeks.

The star of the show will be numerous antique cars, motorcycles, and trucks of all models and types. Proceeds will benefit the Corbin Shop with a Cop program.
Shop with a Cop is a program that takes less fortunate children on shopping sprees at Christmas time.
Between June 12-17, the annual Burger Week competition will take place with Austin City Saloon, Bubby’s BBQ, The Depot, Icehouse, M&M Rooftop Garden, Old Town Grill, Scully’s, Si Senor and The Wrigley Taproom & Eatery all participating.
