This weekend: Pools open, zine-making, jam bands, and Bryan Park's outdoor movie screening

It’s Memorial Day weekend, school is officially out, and summer is in full swing. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to cool off now that the Bryan Park Pool is opening this Saturday, but if you’re looking to kick up a good sweat, there’s no shortage of outdoor activities, high-octane jam band shows and tours around Bloomington to keep you moving as the pavement heats up.

Kick off the summer with festivities at Bryan Park

Get a sample of all Bloomington Parks and Recreation has to offer this summer – and dance to some great live music – at the Summer Launch Party at Bryan Park this Friday. Designed for kids 12 and under, the afternoon party will feature games and activities, craft areas and live music from Mariachi Internacional de Bloomington and Jeff Shew & The Late-Night Crew. The launch party will highlight activities and programs the Parks and Recreation department has planned for the summer. Bryan Park is at 1001 S. Henderson St., and the event is from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Pool admission is $6 and fee waivers are available.

Mills Pool and the pool at McCormick's Creek State Park also open this weekend.

Get a healthy dose of post-punk jams with Geese at the Bishop

Geese, the Brooklyn quintet known for high-octane, dynamic post-punk music, will be playing at The Bishop this Saturday. With their sophomore album “3D Country,” released last summer, the band has evolved from its early distortion-forward sound to a bluesier, jam-band/progressive rock sound à la Talking Heads and King Crimson. With psychedelic indie-rock Bloomington act Tree to Stone as an opener, it’s sure to be a night of high-energy, summer-ready music. The Bishop is at 123 S. Walnut St., and the show begins at 9 p.m. Tickets are $18 in advance or $23 at the door, and can be purchased in advance at thebishopbar.com/events/geese.

Make the zine of your dreams at the Monroe County History Center

As part of the “Punk @ the Old Library” exhibit, which explores Bloomington’s punk subculture history, join the Monroe County History Center on Saturday for an afternoon of making zines – homemade collections of art and literature, often made of magazine clippings, that’s long been foundational for punk and revolutionary subcultures. Learn more about the history of zines while making one to celebrate the rich history of punk culture in Bloomington and beyond. The Monroe County History Center is located at 202 E. 6th St., and the event runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. All ages. Free.

‘Dig’ a free outdoor screening at Bryan Park

Bloomington Parks and Recreation, Indiana University Arts & Humanities Council and the Ryder Film Series kick off the “Movies in the Parks” series this Saturday with the 2003 classic “Holes.” When unlucky teen Stanley Yelnats is wrongly accused of a crime, he finds himself at a juvenile detention camp where he and fellow inmates are forced to dig holes in the desert, ultimately unraveling buried mysteries and bizarre truths in the process. Bryan Park is at 1001 S. Henderson St., and the movie begins around 9 p.m. Free.
