Rory Gale of Hartford Prints! wanted the upcoming “Local Lovin'” event to “feel like a summer house party.”

That explains the free food and local hooch, the DJ, dancing, and laid back vibe to be found on the second floor of 57 Pratt Street next week.

Free food does not mean the standard hummus and cheese plate. This is going to be catered by G Stream’s Chef Gabriella. Vegan and local.

There will be a raffle to win local goods, so bring some cash if you feel lucky.

This event on August 9th is co-sponsored by Hartford Prints! and Downtown Yoga. It is scheduled for 6pm until midnight.

The following evening on Pratt Street, you can catch music from Kate Callahan and Zoƫ Chatfield, two local singer-songwriters. Show starts at 8pm on August 10th at Art@StudioN111, 75 Pratt Street, Suite #301.
