With weather like this, beach music seems the only choice for a Concert on the Green. Come by the Davidson Village Green on Sunday at 6 and listen to Band of Oz. Also this weekend, Davidson Farmers’ Market, where it will be “Egg Day,” with musical accompaniment by Linda Lombard and David Olsen.

There’s also live music at Summit Coffee and a Saturday night symphony and fireworks event in Cornelius. Meanwhile, there are a few tickets left for Davidson Community Players’ “West Side Story.”

Just a reminder: We update this calendar continuously as we receive new listings. And check back Monday, when we publish our This Week calendar, looking at the week ahead.
