GREEN BAY - This week marks the official start of summer. The summer solstice is Thursday so it's time to celebrate the longest day of the year.
A summer heat wave is making its way through Green Bay this weekend, so you might be looking for ways to escape to air conditioning. Here are some indoor activities to cool down with. There's also some outdoor park events to stop by at as temperatures start to go down later in the week.
Here's a roundup of things to do in Green Bay this weekend.
