If for some reason you need things to do this weekend around Harrisburg and central PA, we have some below. Recommended: virtual or outdoor events only.
Things on my agenda this weekend: Cooking and projects and cleaning.
For goodness sakes, stay home! ICYMI, you must now wear a mask when you’re around anyone who doesn’t live with you, indoors or out. Yes. Please order takeout, shop locally online, call places, and get information. Try to stay in as much as possible, and when out, please just be patient, calm, and abide by guidelines. Wash your damn hands.
For your weekend planning:
- The perfect gift for your favorite home cook.
- Order your Thanksgiving Dinner Takeout
- Check off some items safely from our Fall Bucket List.
- Passionate about Pa. food? Support PA Eats on Friday during the Extra Give.
- See what else you missed on the blog.
Below are ample options for your weekend. Moving forward, virtual and takeout-type events will be highlighted at the top of each day’s list.
