Welcome back to The To-Do List, where Daily Memphian staffers suggest their favorite events and activities for the coming week. 

This week, a James Beard winner takes over Bar Limina, the Dixon highlights early 20th-century female artists and you can make your own music at Bar DKDC.

Pattiloo Unplugged at Hattiloo Theatre, Friday-Sunday:

Whoever thought to call Hattiloo’s patio a “pattiloo” is a genius, and I’d like to shake their hand. This cleverly named patio party will feature live music for three days: The PRVLG on Friday from 7 to 8:30 p.m., D’vonna Taylor on Saturday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and Kortland Whalum on Sunday from 2 to 8:30 p.m. The concerts are free, and Hattiloo donors can also get exclusive cocktails and appetizers. Can’t make it? The shows will also stream live on Hattiloo’s website. Free. 37 S. Cooper St. Click here for info. — Phillips

James Beard Award nominee Abigail Gullo of New Orleans’ Bar Loa is taking over another B.L.-initialed bar this weekend. She’s the first bartender featured in Bar Limina’s new residency series, and she’ll present five original drinks that tell her story. You can read more about the residency series and Gullo in last week’s Table Talk. Walk-ins are welcome at this event. 631 Madison Ave. More info here. — Phillips

B----Bopz anniversary party at Ugly Art Co., Saturday:

It’s time to celebrate the Boppers Who Shall Not Be Named (because we can’t say the B-word in this online publication). The B----Bopz are one year old (give a few months), and that’s partying age. They’ll be hosting a soiree at Ugly Art Co., with drinks, DJs and more than 20 vendors. Last Vegan On Earth is bringing the food, but save room for cake! What’s a b-day bash without the drag? There will be plenty of drag, and you know it all comes down to the music for the B----Bopz. A live show will close out the night. 5-10 p.m. $10. 635 Madison Ave. Click here for more info. — Kelsey Bowen

Summerween at The Cadre, Saturday:

It’s hotter than the devil’s armpit outside, so it may be hard to imagine you’re in spooky season. But Summerween can help. This Halloween-themed rave party, which used to be held at Black Lodge (RIP), has moved Downtown’s Cadre building. And it’s promising costumes, DJs, lasers and spooky-themed cocktails. (And hey, that skimpy vampire costume will probably be more comfortable in the hot weather anyway.) The DJ line-up includes Cozmo, DJ AD, DJ Tree, Gögh Scotty, iLL STU and Vibeology. 7 p.m.-2 a.m. $25 at the door. 149 Monroe Ave. Click here for more info. — Phillips

Bartlett Live Music Series: Your Mom’s New Boyfriend at W. J. Freeman Park, Saturday:

Bartlett’s free summer music starts this Saturday with a show by Your Mom’s New Boyfriend at W.J. Freeman Park. Your Mom’s New Boyfriend, by the way, plays rock covers from the 1990s and 2000s. (Of course he would.) There will also be food trucks. Shows will continue on select Saturdays through September. 7-10 p.m. Free. 2629 Bartlett Blvd. Click here for more info. — Phillips

Spies in the Cemetery talk at Elmwood Cemetery, Sunday:

Elmwood Cemetery will host a Spies in the Cemetery talk on Sunday, July 13. (Ziggy Mack/Special to The Daily Memphian file)

At this event, you won’t spy with your little eye all of the tombstones of dead spies buried at Elmwood. That’s because the 45-minute presentation, by cemetery director Kim Bearden, is a seated event in the Elmwood chapel. But you will learn about the hidden world of espionage, which spies are buried at Elmwood and what secrets they tried to take to their graves. 2-3 p.m. $23. 824 S. Dudley St. Click here to register. — Phillips

Kendama Jam at Memphis Made Brewing Co., Sunday:

Kendama is a traditional Japanese toy skill that involves using a wooden handle with a ball to do all kinds of cool things. And you can learn how to play at this free event hosted by Kendama Memphis. Expect lessons, competitions, prizes and of course, lots of beer. 2-6 p.m. Free. 16 S. Lauderdale St. Click here for more info. — Phillips

MUSE Creative Gathering: Sound at Bar DKDC, Monday:

Like Really Creative’s Zack Orsborn is hosting an atypical night of music-making. Three featured musicians — trombonist Victor Sawyer, Optic Sink’s Natalie Hoffman and rapper-violinist EsMod — will lead a soundscape. They will each begin with a single note. Then, attendees will join in, building on the music with their own unique tune. If you’re anything like me and better at appreciating music than making it, you’re welcome to join to just listen and enjoy. Designed as an exercise to help get the creative juices flowing, this will also be a unique experience to see how artists play off each other and mold music right in the moment. How does that sound? 6:30-8:30 p.m. $10. 964 Cooper St. Click here for more info. — Bowen

Overton Park Junior Open at Overton Park, Monday-Thursday:

The Overton Park Junior Open starts Monday, July 14. (Ziggy Mack/Special to The Daily Memphian file)

This free golf tournament for kids ages 7 to 16 has been around since 1947, making it one of the nation’s oldest kids’ golf tourneys. Players will compete on the Overton Park 9, the renovated 9-hole course on the southeastern side of the park. And it’s open to all skill levels, so even newbies can get in on the fun. How is it free, you ask? Funding was raised earlier this year through the Overton Park 99, a charity event during which golfers played 99 holes, all while walking and carrying their own bags (no carts allowed). See more info here. — Phillips
