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: There are like, a lot of plant/garden-related events going on. Plus, of course, Cinco de Mayo tonight and the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Not a great weather weekend for it, but there are art & wine walks in both downtown Carlisle and downtown Mechanicsburg.
(Still) Worth noting: Check out my private Facebook community, Cheers Harrisburg. You can join the convo here.
Things on my agenda this weekend: Not much but it’s Mother’s Day weekend. See below for brunch ideas, and click here if you still need gift ideas.
