Plan your weekend with my weekly list of things to do around Harrisburg and central PA! Scroll down or use the menu links to find ideas for your weekend.
What you’ll find:
For something new: Little Black Dress has a Lucky Brand Jewlery Sample Sale through Sunday. If you’re looking to get outside (recommended), there is Wildwood Park’s Wetland Festival, Forest Therapy in Detweiler Park, the Great Harrisburg Litter Clean-up (and that’s just on Saturday!). There’s also still time to play Friends of Midtown Business Bingo (signing up for my email counts!).
(Still) Worth noting: Check out my private Facebook community, Cheers Harrisburg. You can join the convo here.
Things on my agenda this weekend: Belated Easter get-together, possible farm visit. Getting outside.
