This weekend is the last weekend before summer officially kicks off on Memorial Day weekend next week. Be mindful of the weather especially on Saturday. As I double-checked the forecast there is the potential for severe weather on Saturday, – thunderstorms, gusty winds, and possibly hail. Plan your day with care and verify any events are still happening. We include links to the event host in almost all of our event listings.
