Earlier this week, we brought you a few tips on embracing spring cleaning and the season. But now that you’ve done the work, it’s time to enjoy the best part of spring: the outdoor festivals, fairs, and maybe a little bougainvillea peeping.

We put together a few ideas for getting outside the house:
