We are delighted to share these pieces with the community.” \n The exhibition features works that evoke the vibrant life of Paris and the broader artistic movements of the period\, showcasing the technical mastery and expressive vision that made the Belle Époque one of the most influential moments in Western art. \nVisitors are invited to experience the exhibition in person and explore the rich artistic legacy of this celebrated period. \nAbout Heather James Fine Art: Heather James Fine Art\, celebrating 30 years in business\, specializes in museum-quality works spanning Impressionism\, Modern\, and Contemporary art.

SUMMARY:World-Famous Budweiser Clydesdales return to the El Paseo Shopping District
DESCRIPTION:**NOTE: This event may be canceled should the day be deemed too hot** \nEl Paseo Shopping District will once again welcome the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales on Wednesday\, April 22\, continuing a beloved tradition that has brought the iconic hitch to the avenue for years.  \nA symbol of heritage\, craftsmanship and American tradition\, the Budweiser Clydesdales have been captivating audiences for generations. Each horse stands approximately six feet tall at the shoulder (18 hands)\, weighs close to a ton\, and is carefully selected for its strength\, temperament\, and signature bay coloring with white markings. The eight-horse hitch\, polished brass harnesses\, and classic red beer wagon create one of the most recognizable spectacles in the world. \nThe Clydesdales will be unloaded and hitched at approximately 2:00 p.m. on the frontage road parallel to Highway 74\, behind The Daily Grill. Once this step is complete\, the team will begin their route eastbound along El Paseo\, making special stops at select restaurants ahead of their appearance at the sold-out Music Festival (typically from 3 to 4 pm). Accompanying the hitch is the traditional Dalmatian “coach dog\,” a historic nod to the breed’s role in guarding horse-drawn wagons. \nThis family-friendly event is free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to view the procession along the route or enjoy the experience from one of El Paseo’s many restaurant patios.  \nSpanning eight blocks and more than a mile\, El Paseo is home to more than 230 shops\, restaurants\, and businesses\, offering a vibrant mix of luxury retail\, local boutiques\, art galleries\, and diverse dining—from casual fare to world-class cuisine. \nFor more information about El Paseo Shopping District and upcoming events\, please visit www.ShopElPaseo.com. \nDid You Know?\n\nThe Budweiser Clydesdales have been an American icon since 1933\, originally introduced to celebrate the repeal of Prohibition.\nEach horse weighs approximately 1\,800–2\,300 pounds and consumes up to 25 quarts of feed and 30 gallons of water per day.\nA full hitch includes eight horses\, but a traveling team typically brings several alternates—along with a crew that helps care for and transport them across the country.\nThe horses travel in custom-built tractor-trailers equipped with air-cushioned suspension for a smooth ride.\nThe Dalmatian “coach dog” tradition dates back to the 1800s\, when the breed was used to guard horse-drawn wagons and keep the horses calm.\n\n

SUMMARY:Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain 40th Anniversary Tour
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 1985 as the antidote to mindless pop\, egocentric rock\, and the indulgent\, bluster of the music business\, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain donned black tuxedos\, and began giving ‘concerts’ in tiny rooms above old pubs. \nThere are no drums\, pianos\, backing tracks\, guitars\, or banjos\, no pitch shifters or electronic trickery – just an astonishing revelation of the rich palette of orchestration afforded by ukuleles and a menagerie of voices in a collision of post-punk performance and old classics.

SUMMARY:HELL-BENT FOR LEATHER
DESCRIPTION:HELL-BENT FOR LEATHER \n(An Existential Crisis in C Minor): \nPerformed by Michael Pacas\, with Pianist\, Joel Baker \n(Mature Themes and Language / No Pearl Clutching) \nHELL-BENT FOR LEATHER isn’t a campy romp in choir robes and chaps—it’s a visceral excavation of growing up queer in the Southern Baptist church. Scripture as weapon. Music\, humor\, and leather as armor. Beneath the bawdy laughter lies a story of confronting shame\, surviving trauma\, and reclaiming queer identity with defiance\, wit\, and Sondheim. \nThis is exorcism meets celebration: proof that queer souls forged in fire can turn survival into art\, pain into play\, and silence into showtunes—finding divinity on our own damn terms. \nThe set list is a curated blend of Broadway and Off-Broadway classics and hidden gems\, alongside songs by theatre composers who also write beyond the stage (85%) – plus soul-stirring surprises from Eric Clapton and openly queer country-western singer/songwriter Adam Mac.
