Somehow, we find ourselves at the end of March. Before April showers begin, grab a warm jacket for what will hopefully be the last time and get tickets for can’t-miss festivals, whether you’re into stand-up or sipping wine! This weekend also brings great theater, foodie happenings, creative fun, and an inclusive prom gathering.
In case of weather delays or last-minute cancellations, always call the venue or check online for updates before you go.
