Get Out: Five Ideas for Your Weekend

Smell sweet lilies, sip free coffee and make the world a better place this weekend.

With both Easter and Earth Day this weekend, there are a lot of opportunities to have some fun. Just make sure you find all of those eggs; there’s nothing fun about finding a little pastel-colored egg way up on a high shelf sometime in November.

This weekend you can revive yourself with an uplifting play, stimulate your mind with an invigorating nonviolence discussion, plus save trees with a reusable mug and get a free coffee to boot.

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.
