Summer happenings around Southern Indiana
August brings plenty to do across Southern Indiana and Louisville. The New Albany Farmers Market runs on Saturdays at 202 E. Market St, featuring local produce, baked goods, live entertainment, and kids' events—perfect for a weekend morning. Dog Haus Biergarten at 415 Bank St in New Albany is hosting live music: Art & The Barfunkels on Saturday, August 15, and Hollywood Dog on Saturday, August 22.
If you're willing to venture slightly farther, Louisville offers more options.

Check Ticketmaster for tickets and details on the concerts.
Quick Asian Barbecue Chicken Lettuce Wraps
If you have roughly 45 minutes and want a gluten-free, dairy-free meal, Asian Barbecue Chicken Lettuce Wraps are worth trying. Sauté diced chicken with diced red onion, celery, minced garlic, fresh ginger, black pepper, sriracha chili sauce, and salt in flavorless oil for about 4 minutes. Add soy sauce and hoisin sauce, then simmer until the chicken is fully cooked—another 8 minutes or so. Remove from heat and stir in bok choy until the leaves wilt slightly.
Serve the mixture in whole lettuce leaves to form individual wraps. The recipe yields 6 servings and comes together quickly, making it ideal for busy weeknights when you want something fresh and satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen.
