It’s Mother’s Day weekend, which means it’s time to celebrate moms, or anyone who deserves a little extra love (yourself included). This weekend brings a flower market, a community concert, handmade gifts, and bounce-house chaos at a massive scale.
Here’s what’s on tap this weekend starting with a big makeover:
#1 Mother’s Day Flower Market in Old Town
Fresh flowers market in Hotel Indigo. Right on Old Town.
You can build your own bouquet, choose pre-arranged designs, and stop by this event for either a pre-brunch or pre dinner activity Sunday.
