Temperatures are suddenly near the 80s, and you’re sweating under that knit hat you purchased a few weeks ago. Yep, spring is here. And one of the first family traditions of the season is upon us: the Easter celebration.
While many venues host events the weekend before the holiday, there are still plenty of ways to get in on the fun Easter weekend. If you don’t have plans yet, check with local parks, churches, and recreation centers, and/or ask neighbors and co-workers if they’re planning on one.
Or take a look at our three picks for Easter weekend here.
