Get Out: Five Ideas For Your Weekend
From the Redlands Bowl to bowls of green ice cream to free, green concerts; this weekend has it all.
This weekend has something for everyone. Symphony lovers can attend the first, free concert of the season at the Redlands Bowl; tiny folks can decorate cupcakes and watch Pippi on stage; green-minded individuals will love the music-and-art-packed To Do Fest and ice cream aficionados can revisit an old favorite.
Our goal is to make the Get Out planner as reliable as possible, but keep in mind, some events change at the last minute. We advise calling ahead just in case.
