We're gearing up for the unofficial kick-off to Summer this weekend. It's a long 3-day weekend for a lot of people, and we hope you enjoy and stay safe. For some, they'll be traveling. But, there will also still be a lot of people in town. And that's okay because we have a lot of things going on in and around the CSRA this Memorial Day weekend. We've put together a list below for you, and while we did our best to list everything, there are probably a few we missed! Email us with any additional events!
