In partnership with

Well, we mostly avoided the winter storm drama last week. Schools got the day off, at least partially, but there didn’t seem to be any real issues in the city. It’s still super cold outside so you’ll be happy to know that this week’s events are all indoors. I also want to call out that I completely missed an event last week. Cirque Italia was at the Mall and seemed like it was really fun, so hopefully some of you discovered it on your own! Back to this week, the events are heavy on the music and arts side of things. We’ve got a few RiverCenter events and something fun over at the Museum.

With that said, let’s get to the good stuff!
