Weekend

Spring is in the air this weekend! With seasonal markets, poetry readings, flower stamp painting, book fairs and more, it’s abloom with an abundance of ways to get out and enjoy the fair weather.

This weekend is hopping with Easter events galore! Hunt for some colorful eggs, create a beautiful spring painting, pick up an Easter basket while celebrating the season, participate in a “grown up” Easter egg hunt, make some Easter Sunday brunch reservations, or even play some Easter bingo! The possibilities are endless.

This weekend is jam-packed full of events! It’s got craft festivals, film festivals, music bingo, Easter egg hunts, expos, fundraisers, and lots of markets on tap for your enjoyment. So, get out and enjoy!

This weekend is coming in hot with the springtime vibes! From the Spring Thrift Market in Boston, to the annual Garden Symposium at SNHU, to the Bloom Bar in Pembroke, to the Vernal Tease Burlesque Show at the Hop Knot, to the Easter Family Fun Day in Nashua, to the Spring Equinox Community Market in Dover, spring has sprung and there are bountiful ways to celebrate.

Consider this weekend a warm-up to the spring season! As everything finally begins to slowly thaw out, take advantage of the versatility this weather offers – it’s still cold enough to watch some ice hockey at the Battle of the Badges Hockey Championship and honor the great New England tradition of eating sugar on snow at the New Hampshire Maple Sugaring Experience. Or, if you’d rather usher in the vernal equinox early, you can admire some custom floral arrangements at the Currier’s Bloom 2026 event. And don’t sleep on all the early St. Paddy’s celebrations taking place, including the annual Shamrock Shuffle. Good luck making the most of it!

This weekend has got it all – grand openings, trivia nights, open mic nights, dance nights, art markets, and more! Oh yeah, and if you’re a Harry Styles fan, don’t forget to squeeze in some time to listen to his new record: Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally set to be released this Friday. Whatever you decide to do, make the most of it!

Opportunities for community connection are in full supply this weekend! Support local businesses at one of the many anniversary parties taking place around town, or young artists at The Youth Center’s first ever TYC Presents: The Coffee Shop Series at the Moka Pot. Head to Honey Cup Cafe and Tearoom’s Dine to Donate event where 10% of sales will go to supporting the Manchester Diaper Pantry. Or perhaps go cheer on your sporty neighbors at “Sky is the Limit” Rail Jam at McIntyre. Your presence makes all the difference when it comes to lifting up local!

This weekend offers a treasure trove of activities for all to enjoy, from Lunar New Year lantern-making, to National Margarita Day, to Lovers & Friends R&B Night, to Brunchin’ With The CULTURE in honor of Black History Month. So, what are you waiting for? Go forth and conquer, Weekend Warriors!

Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s, Galentine’s or event anti-Valentine’s Day, this weekend offers a whole host of events to get you in or out of the loving mood. Some highlights include Dark Romance: Forbidden Hearts Runway Experience at Rhythm & Roots Studio, Cupid Lied: A Queer Anti-Valentine Pop Up at CoLab, Friday the 13th Gals & Ghouls Galentine’s Day Pop-Ups at Harpoon Brewing, and Galentine’s Day Soirée at the Bookery.
