Spring has sprung and so has the March events calendar, with many diverse indoor and outdoor events and organized activities on offer! While a number of major annual events have been postponed due to COVID, Mount Pleasant's ArtFest is set for March 13th and the 74th Annual Festival of Houses and Gardens has been reimagined and will run from March 11th through August 17th! Don't forget that clocks "spring forward" on Sunday, March 14th, that St. Patrick's Day is on the 17th, and that March is Women's History Month! Please be sure to participate safely and to confirm whether an event is still on. Enjoy!
