Tips for Planning Your Week
- Many outdoor events wrap up with cooler weather—don’t forget a sweater if you’re heading out later in the day.
- For farmers markets, going early means fresher picks—especially for baked goods and seasonal treats.
- Check event sites for weather updates or last-minute changes before you head out.
