Get Out Weekend Planner

Canal Festival, weeding, and live music.

If you’re not sure what to do with yourself and the family this weekend - never fear. We have scoured the Events Calendar for the five best ways to keep you local and help you make the best out of the weekend. Some are even air conditioned!

Remember to check in every week when we refresh the Get Out Weekend Planner and be sure to leave your two cents in the comments section below. If you have a block party, fundraiser, garage sale you’d like us to know about, shoot us an email and we’ll make sure it’s added to the calendar.
