Plan your weekend with my weekly list of things to do around Harrisburg and central PA!
What you’ll find ⤵️
For something new: I think the Lemoyne Arbor Day Festival sounds awesome
Worth noting: Independent Bookstore Day! at Midtown Scholar on Saturday; great live music with Harrisburg University Presents Fri & Sat at XL Live.
Things on my agenda this weekend: Shows Fri & Sat (see below, buy some tix, enjoy live music in Harrisburg), plus kid activities, including Mentored Youth Turkey Day (well I’m not doing it but …), baseball, and swim lessons. Steak Sunday will be well deserved.
