From Aug. 29 through Sept.1, Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort will offer aquatic adventures, food trucks, live entertainment and more family-friendly activities for the long weekend.

The holiday weekend is a chance to enjoy the Newport Dunes' Inflatable Aquatic Park before it closes for the season. The Aquatic Park will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Aug. 29 through Sept.1, complete with a 17-foot slide, monkey bars and other bouncers while kayaks, pedal boats, stand-up paddleboards and electric Duffy boats will be available for rent.
On the shore, food trucks will be parked from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. each day with a full bar open from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Hungry swimmers can also order from the resort's walk-up beachfront bar and grill, Moe B's Munchies, which serves American classics like hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza along with cocktails and other beverages.
Resort guests can bring their beach chairs, blankets or floats to the sand for 'Tunes at the Dunes,' a live music series in the evenings from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. On Aug. 29 country rock band Kelly Boyz Band will serenade the night, while Family Style, a funk, soul and blues act is scheduled for Aug. 30. The series will close out with '80s tribute band, Flashback Heart Attack on Aug. 31. 'Movies on the Beach' screenings of family-friendly films are also planned to begin at dusk on Friday and Saturday.
Lawn games and other activities will be available throughout the weekend, including family bingo, arts and crafts, Spikeball, horseshoes and cornhole tournaments. Those looking to say goodbye to summer in style can book a VIP experience with a private beachfront cabana.

How to watch 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox'? Hulu's new limited series
Viewers are will get to see Amanda Knox's story dramatized in a new limited series on Hulu, which follows her 16-year journey to reclaim her innocence after being convicted and ultimately exonerated of murder. "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," out on Friday, Aug. 20, is inspired by the true story of Amanda Knox, an American college student studying in Italy who was wrongfully convicted and later imprisoned for the murder of her roommate. Considered the prime suspects in the 2007 killing of British student Meredith Kercher, Knox and her then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, spent four years in prison before they were exonerated for the second time in March 2015. The two were initially exonerated on Oct. 3, 2011, when an appeals court overturned their original convictions. Nearly a decade after the second acquittal, which was decided by Italy's highest court, the Supreme Court of Cassation, Knox returned to Italy for another trial on slander charges related to the initial interrogation. Specifically, that trial addressed a signed confession from Knox falsely accusing her former boss of the murder. An Italian court found Knox guilty, again, in June 2024 and upheld the conviction on appeal months later. According to Hulu, the series "traces Amanda's relentless fight to prove her innocence and reclaim her freedom and examines why authorities and the world stood so firmly in judgment." Here's what to know about "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," including where to stream it. Who is playing Amanda Knox? In the Hulu limited series "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," Grace Van Patten plays Amanda Knox. Van Patten has previously starred in "Tell Me Lies" and "Nine Perfect Strangers," according to IMDB. Rebecca Wisocky, Sharon Horgan, John Hoogenakker, Francesco Acquaroli and Giuseppe De Domenico, Joe Lanza, Anna Van Patten and Crosby Fitzgerald are also cast in the series.

60-year-old S.F. pub featured in movies has closed
After more than 60 years in San Francisco's Tenderloin, the popular medieval-themed dive bar Edinburgh Castle Pub has closed its doors at 950 Geary St. Owner Tay Kim, who bought the bar in 1999, confirmed the closure in a message to the Chronicle. U.S. Bank filed a foreclosure lawsuit against the bar in February 2024 for a more than $700,000 loan made in 2009, records show. According to the lawsuit, Edinburgh Castle stopped making monthly payments on the loan in 2023. This June, a court appointed receiver took possession of the property, and an auctioneer was appointed to sell the building. The pub has a rich history dating back to its opening in 1959. It was a favorite spot for a slew of famed writers, and hosted readings from the likes of Scottish writer Irvine Welsh, whose book 'Trainspotting' was adapted to a play first staged at the venue, before it became a film. He staged the American debut of the production at the bar, which he would later adapt into a hit movie. The Castle was also featured in the films 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' and 'Venom.' Despite its popularity in the 1990s and 2010s, when it was known to host live music, business in the historic space has been slower over the years, and Kim even put the bar up for sale in 2019. In the end, Kim told the Chronicle, 'COVID really was the main catalyst for our demise. We lost approximately 70% of our business. I've been there for 31 years so it was a good run at a place where magic happened. I don't miss it now but I'll miss it in time surely.' Mario Cortez contributed to this report. This story has been updated to include additional comments from Tay Kim and to clarify that the author Irvine Welsh wrote the book 'Trainspotting.'
