🌷 What's Happening in Southern Maryland | Apr 20 – Apr 26

Hey neighbor, Earth Day is Tuesday, and the county is not taking it easy this week. We've got a farm fest, a sunflower festival, a car show, a jazz festival for six dollars, a triathlon, a town celebration, a food festival, a comedy brunch, an interactive stage play, a glow paintball night, a bull and oyster roast, four high school musicals, and a Spring Fling day party thrown by a fraternity. Most of this is happening on Saturday. You're going to need a plan. Let's get into it. 👇

🌷 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. 👇
