Friday is upon us and it’s time to make plans for those precious weekend hours. The good news is, there is plenty to do. Check out our picks for this weekend’s fun activities to hit and places to explore.
Our goal is to make the Get Out planner as reliable as possible, but keep in mind, some events change at the last minute. We advise calling ahead just in case.
This weekend you can visit the groovy ’60, fly a kite up to the highest height, and catch some fantastic concerts for an even more fantastic cause; and that’s just the beginning.
