What local bars are doing in memory of Michael Jackson

Regardless of what you think about Michael Jackson the person, it’s hard to argue the fact that we’ve lost a music and entertainment legend.

Thursday night, just hours after Jackson’s death spread, local bars and patrons spent their evening remembering Michael Jackson — whether through jukebox tunes just about anywhere, a special Michael Jackson tribute karaoke at Therapy Cafe and we’re sure many more.

Those tributes to Michael Jackson are expected to continue. Here are some special events we know of coming up:

80S NIGHT AND MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE
