Farmers Market.

Summer to me goes hand in hand with Farmers Markets'.  There is just something about longer days, fresh fruits, veggies and homemade BBQ stands that literally melts my heart.  A few of the local towns around my area have Farmers Markets during the summer with a wide variety of food and entertainment.  One of the towns has weekly themes featuring local cultures.  Different vendors come sell their homemade foods, wide variety of nick knacks, along with a beer & wine garden that stays open late, and a band with a dance floor in the middle of the street that makes you feel that much more daring.  It's a great way to sport that new jersey maxi with some sandals and venture out on the second or third date.
