If you’re looking for things to do this weekend around Harrisburg and central PA, we have a handful below, most of which are virtual or outdoor only.
Need something NEW to do? Miss the experience of restaurants and live music but aren’t quite ready to venture out? New hybrid concept, Dinno — “dinner and a show” — launches at Stock’s on Second on Friday. Get the details here.
Also worth noting: We revived our private Facebook group, Cheers Harrisburg. You can join the convo here.
Things on my agenda this weekend: Potty training (again). Send wine. I’ve also instituted “Steak Saturday,” and we’re having Delmonicos, baked potatoes, and some good wine (last week was Porterhouse | Broccoli | Mushrooms served with Gamble Paramount).
