Happening This Weekend - 3/2/2018

❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️
Hope you had a safe and cozy snow day! At least the frozen flakes have Beacon's reservoirs filling up - the drought level has been lifted thanks to this season's rain and snowfall. Kick your cabin fever to the curb during these last days of winter by getting out there to take your favorite class (or the intriguing class you've never taken), get some retail therapy, and sit in on a cultural experience. Your highlights for the weekend and week ahead are below.

Highlighted below are the events, classes, workshops and shopping that you need to factor into your weekend plans, as well as your out-and-abouts next week!
