A live host guides the action while players use their phones to submit answers, earn points, and check the leaderboard throughout the game. It is free to play, and prizes are awarded to the winners.

Meet outside the Public Library Main Branch by the bike rack for a short downtown outing connected to the Downtown Youngstown Farmers Market. Participants can enjoy a relaxed, roughly one mile walk through the city that finishes at the market, and sometimes a beginner bike ride is offered as well. The riding option focuses on practical skills such as sharing the road, using bike lanes, and signaling to others. On walking-only days, the group follows a similar route and concludes back at the market. The first 20 walkers and riders receive a $5 certificate redeemable only at the Downtown Youngstown Night Market.

Westside Bowl hosts a free, all-ages goth night in the Trophy Room, soundtracked by DJs Steve Wishnewski, James Noir, and Kelly Addams. The dance floor leans into dark aesthetics where black lace, teased hair, and smudged eyeliner fit right in, yet any personal style is welcome. Attendees can channel a vampiric persona or keep to the shadows near the speakers while the music sets the tone. The scene is open to solo wanderers and groups of friends alike.

Tell Me Lies pays tribute to Fleetwood Mac with a concert centered on the band’s classic songs.

Prices range from $0 to $40.28. A one drink minimum applies.

A full weekend of grass volleyball returns to Volney Rogers Park, building on a strong May turnout and a tougher June, with an eye toward even bigger participation and larger payouts. All divisions offer cash awards, and some lower divisions may receive shirts based on the number of teams. Play spans two formats: coed 4s on day one, which requires at least one woman on the court, and Revco 2s on day two played on a short court. Divisions include Open, AA, A, BB, and B, with the option to combine levels if entries are light. Matches use rally scoring. Serves that touch the net remain in play. Open-hand receive is not permitted unless it is a clean set. Setting the ball over is allowed when square to the direction of the ball, while unintended, not-square sets that cross the net are faults. Entry is 35 dollars per player, cash only, paid on the day of play. Teams can register through the event discussion or by contacting Matt Nelson.

Enjoy music from DJ Thomas John along with handmade crafts and a variety of vendor booths. A 50/50 drawing and a basket raffle will be held, and all proceeds from these activities will support The Hunger Center. For accurate information, Arianna is the only official contact for this event, so please stay alert to potential scammers.

Sing along at Westside Bowl with Simply Ed hosting a karaoke night that feels lively, encouraging, and just the right kind of unpredictable. Step up for a favorite tune, take a chance on something new, or relax and cheer from the crowd. A mix of familiar faces and first-timers trade the mic, making it easy to unwind, laugh, and maybe surprise yourself with a song you can pull off. There is no cover charge, and the action takes place downstairs in the Trophy Room.
