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!
