🌷 What's Happening in Southern Maryland | Apr 13 – Apr 19

Hey neighbor, Post-Easter energy could easily mean "I'm staying home all month" but Charles County has other plans for you. This week has a creepy circus finishing its run, a planetarium show, a free shaved ice grand opening, a line dance with a lesson included, a magician at the library, and a paint party at a distillery. There's also a pretty packed Saturday that, if you planned it right, could go: toy expo in the morning → open house at Smallwood in the afternoon → line dance at night. Just saying. Let's get into it. 👇
