In partnership with
Happy Thursday!
Friends, this weekend is PACKED with things to do! If your family is anything like mine, we've been stuck inside way too much lately, and honestly? We need to get out of the house before we all lose it.
The good news: there are three incredible ballet performances at the Hult Center this weekend (yes, THREE!), plus Springfield Library is hosting a free Lunar New Year celebration with lion dances and taiko drumming on Saturday.
Whether you're craving culture, movement, or just a change of scenery — this weekend delivers.
Let's jump right in!
