Say do you remember dancing in September? Fall might be knocking on the door, but we recommend you take Earth, Wind, & Fire's advice and fill this month with late-summer fun. There's wine to be drunk, records to be spun, and every reason in the world to ditch the back-to-school blues and enjoy the arrival of autumn in the city that does it best. Here for you is a list of some of the most exciting and special happenings throughout the month of September, so grab a scarf, choose cider over Pumpkin Spice, and find yourself some out-and-about joy.
