Hey neighbor, this is a big one. Juneteenth lands on Friday and Father's Day closes out the weekend, so the calendar is stacked from Friday straight through Sunday. You've got two Juneteenth festivals (Indian Head on Friday, the Shops at Waldorf on Saturday), the kickoff of Charles County Restaurant Week, paintball and cupcake decorating for the dads, and a go-go brunch at Shark Bar. Heads up: county offices and every CCPL branch are closed Friday for the holiday.Let's get into it. 👇

Some run all summer, some are a single day, a couple are sleepaway. There is genuinely something here for every family.Let's get into it. 👇
