Below you’ll find a list of events, movie nights and parties taking place this weekend. I’d like to give a shout out to Ogunquit Bearfest which starts on Friday and runs through the weekend up in Ogunquit, ME.
There is a little bit of something for everyone so peruse the list of options, connect with your friends and make a plan.
